Component of Glass Separator Glass separator is a widely used equipment of laboratory reactions. It is consisted of flask, separation equipment and reflux condensing tube.
Flask is the common glass ware in laboratory and it can resist the heat at certain temperature. Generally flask can be divided into Florence flask and round bottom flask. The slot of flask can prevent the spilling or evaporation of solution and can be matched with rubber plug. When solution need to react or heating fluxed, flask can be chose as the reaction vessel. There has no extrude notch on the open mouth of flask and the solution can easily flow along the external wall of flask. So users always use the glass stick contact the mouth of flask to lead the flowing of solution. Generally Florence flask can be used in the reaction under room temperature and round bottom flask can be used in the reaction under higher temperature. That is because round bottom flask has uniform glass texture and can resistant larger temperature changes. Condenser pipe can be used in the liquid distillation and organic preparation. Generally it is connected with flask or distillation flask under the backflow condition. The condensation of steam is happened on the inner wall of inner pipe. The space between inner and outside pipe can absorb the heat of steam and transfer the heat. The pressure at the water inlet is quite high and in order to prevent the falling off of water pipe plastic tube is tighten. Reflux condensing tube is one type of condenser pipe which can be used in the backflow or distillation of organic chemical engineering experiment. When volatile liquid reaction material is added in the reaction system, the reflux condensing pipe should be set in order to avoid the loss of reaction material and make the full advantage of raw material. These materials will recover to liquid state from gas state and backflow by going through the condensing pipe. According to the uses, reflux condensing tube can be divided into spheroidal shaped pipe, snakelike pipe and straight form pipe.
