Supertek Transparent Borosilicate Glass Plain Fractionating Column

The Supertek Plain Fractionating Column, labeled with the product code 16.208.0020, is a fundamental component utilized in fractional distillation setups, crucial for separating liquid mixtures based on differences in their boiling points. Unlike specialized columns with internal structures like Vigreux or Dufton columns, the plain fractionating column features a simple, straight design without any internal indentations or packing material.

With an effective length of 750 mm, the plain fractionating column provides ample length for vapor to undergo multiple equilibrium stages as it ascends through the column. This extended length facilitates efficient separation of components with relatively close boiling points, ensuring precise separation of the mixture.

Equipped with a cone size of 24/29, the column adheres to standardized ground glass joint sizes 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 Plain 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.

Although lacking internal structures, the plain fractionating column still effectively promotes vapor-liquid contact and separation of components through the process of distillation. While it may not offer the enhanced separation capabilities of columns with internal structures, its simplicity and versatility make it suitable for a wide range of distillation applications.

In summary, the Supertek Plain Fractionating Column with an effective length of 750 mm, cone size 24/29, and product code 16.208.0020 provides efficient separation of liquid mixtures in fractional distillation setups. Its compatibility with standard laboratory equipment, combined with its durability and simplicity, makes it a versatile component for researchers conducting fractional distillation procedures, contributing to the success and accuracy of experimental processes.
