Key Features
1. Round Bottom Flask (500 ml) – 2 Neck:
Capacity: 500 ml – Suitable for medium-scale steam distillation applications.
Material: Borosilicate glass, known for its chemical resistance and thermal shock resistance.
Design: Round bottom ensures uniform heating and efficient steam flow during distillation.
Two neck design: Allows for easy connection of the splash head and steam inlet tube for optimal distillation performance.
2. Splash Head:
Material: Borosilicate glass for durability and resistance to high temperatures.
Designed to distribute steam evenly over the sample in the flask, preventing local overheating and ensuring consistent distillation.
Vertical design minimizes splashing and directs the steam properly into the sample.
3. Liebig Condenser (200 mm):
Length: 200 mm, ideal for cooling and condensing the vapor produced during the distillation process.
Material: Borosilicate glass, offering excellent thermal shock resistance.
The Liebig condenser ensures the efficient condensation of steam distillates into the receiver flask.
4. Receiver Adapter:
Material: Borosilicate glass for strength and stability.
Facilitates the transfer of condensed distillate into a separate receiving flask.
Helps with the separation of essential oils or distillates from the condensed water.
5. Air Leak Tube:
Purpose: Ensures that the assembly is airtight during the steam distillation process, preventing loss of volatile compounds and maintaining proper pressure within the system.
Provides a controlled leak to avoid excess pressure buildup.
