Short Path Distillation Head

Short Path Distillation Head Specifications: Jacketed Vigreux Path Aggressive 45 degree angle 24/40 Connections 14/20 Thermometer Connection GL-14 Hose Connections

Product Description: Short Path Head for Distillation apparatus with Vacuum Jacked with < The jacked short path head design for more efficiency. With indentation, with 10/18 thermometer joints and 24/40 other joints.

When a thermometer is inserted in the top of this apparatus, the bulb and stems serve as column packing. The close coupled condenser and vacuum connection offer and extremely short condensate travel path.

Used with 50mm immersion thermometer and distillation receiver. WUBOLAB glassware are heavy wall designed, made by hand-blowing to ensure uniform wall thickness, made of high-quality borosilicate glass and annealed at 800 degree Celsius, can be heated directly in an open flame and can withstand typical laboratory thermal variations in chemistry processes like heating and cooling

Short path distillation is a compact purification method of vacuum distillation involving the vapor from the heating flask (a round bottom flask with a standard joint) traveling a short distance, often only a few centimeters into the tubing before being condensed.

A short path ensures that little compound is lost on the sides of the apparatus. Because it uses a lower boiling temperature, short-path distillation equipment has the advantage for separating compounds that are unstable at higher temperatures. It’s also beneficial for purifying small quantities of compounds.

The short path distillation head is a key component in a short path distillation apparatus, it is designed with a very short path with a thermometer joint for vapor passing from the heating flask to a connected condenser part. The condenser part on the head is very short too compared to the Liebig condenser in a conventional distillation apparatus. The short path distilling usually takes place in vacuum, there is an extra glass hose connection designed at the end of the condenser part for vacuum purposes.

In a short path distillation, a distilling head is usually inserted into a distillation flask(round bottom flask)where the vapor is from with the lower male joint. The upper 10/18 thermometer joint accommodates a glass thermometer with 10/18 joint to monitor the temperature.

The male joint at the end of the condenser part is used to connect a cow type receiver to distribute the distillates into receiving flasks. Three hose connections on the condenser parts accommodate rubber tubing for water and vacuum.

Made of high quality borosilicate glass 3.3 having very low coefficients of thermal expansion for resistance to heat and very high resistance to chemical attack. Annealed at 800 degrees Celsius, can be heated directly in an open flame and can withstand typical laboratory thermal variations in Chemistry processes like heating and cooling.
