U Tube Glass 15mm, 150mm Length With Side Arm
A U-tube glass with a side arm is a piece of scientific glassware typically made from borosilicate glass, known for its heat resistance and durability in laboratory settings. Here’s a detailed description:
- Shape: It resembles the letter “U” with two open ends at the top of each vertical arm.
- Dimensions: This specific U-tube has a diameter of 15 millimeters (mm) and a total length of 150 millimeters (mm). The side arm extends from the side of one vertical arm at an angle, allowing for connection to other equipment or for sampling purposes.
- Material: Borosilicate glass is the preferred material due to its ability to withstand high temperatures without cracking or warping. It’s also chemically resistant, making it suitable for use with various liquids and gases.
- Applications: U-tubes with side arms have various applications in laboratory settings. Some common uses include:
- Gas chromatography: Separating and analyzing gas mixtures. The side arm allows for gas injection or sample collection.
- Distillation: Purifying liquids by separating them based on boiling points. The side arm can be used to collect the desired distillate.
- Manometry: Measuring gas pressure. The U-tube can be partially filled with a liquid, and the pressure difference between the gas and the atmosphere causes the liquid level in each arm to differ.
- Drying tubes: Removing moisture from gases or liquids. The side arm can be used to connect the U-tube to a source of dry gas or a vacuum pump.
