Supertek Transparent Borosilicate Glass Dufton Fractionating Column

The Supertek Dufton Fractionating Column, designated by the product code 16.204.0005, is an essential component utilized in fractional distillation setups, employed to separate liquid mixtures based on differences in their boiling points. Named after the British chemist John Dufton, this column is designed to enhance separation efficiency through its unique internal structure.

With an effective length of 160 mm, the Dufton Fractionating Column provides a sufficient path length for vapor to undergo multiple equilibrium stages as it ascends through the column. This length allows for efficient separation of components with relatively close boiling points, ensuring precise separation of the mixture.

The column features a cone size of 19/26, indicating the standardized ground glass joint size used for connecting the column to other glassware components in the distillation apparatus. This standardization ensures compatibility and secure connections, facilitating seamless integration into fractional distillation setups.

Constructed from high-quality borosilicate glass, the Supertek Dufton Fractionating Column offers excellent thermal and chemical resistance, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of organic solvents and operating conditions. This durability ensures the reliability and longevity of the column, even under demanding laboratory environments.

The specialized design of the Dufton Fractionating Column includes internal structures such as indentations or packing material, which promote increased vapor-liquid contact and more efficient separation of components. This design feature enhances separation capabilities, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring precise separation of liquid mixtures with close boiling points.

In summary, the Supertek Dufton Fractionating Column with an effective length of 160 mm, cone size 19/26, and product code 16.204.0005 offers efficient separation of liquid mixtures in fractional distillation setups. Its compatibility with standard laboratory equipment, combined with its durability and effectiveness, makes it an indispensable component for researchers conducting fractional distillation procedures, contributing to the success and accuracy of experimental processes.
