Abstract:
The invention provides methods of making laminated devices (especially microchannel devices) in which plates are assembled and welded together. Unlike conventional microchannel devices, the inventive laminated devices can be made without brazing or diffusion bonding; thus providing significant advantages for manufacturing. Features such as expansion joints and external welded supports are also described. Laminated devices and methods of conducting unit operations in laminated devices are also described.

Claim (Index 25):
The welded pressure-resistant substrate assembly of  claim 24  having a leak rate of less than 11 sccm nitrogen when pressurized with nitrogen gas at 100 psig and room temperature.
