Metal Clamp for Filtration Assembly

The GISCOM Metal Clamp for Filtration Assembly is a precision-engineered holding device designed to securely fasten and stabilize glass filtration units during laboratory and industrial filtration processes. It ensures leak-free operation by maintaining uniform pressure between the funnel, base, and membrane interface. This clamp is an essential component for microbiological analysis, solvent purification, water testing, and various QC/QA workflows that demand absolute reliability and repeatable results. Its robust construction and ergonomic design make it suitable for continuous use in research labs, universities, pharmaceutical production units, chemical industries, and analytical laboratories.

Key Features

• High Clamping Stability: Provides a firm, vibration-free grip to ensure consistent filtration performance.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured using MS mild steel with a protective outer coating for extended operational life.
• Precision Fit: Designed to align seamlessly with standard filtration assemblies, offering optimal sealing pressure across joints.
• Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Prevents wear from regular washing, chemicals, and environmental exposure.
• User-Friendly Ergonomics: Smooth handle mechanism reduces hand fatigue and supports efficient lab workflow.
• Reliable Under High Temperature: Works effectively with filtration units made from Borosilicate Glass 3.3, ensuring compatibility with heating, autoclaving, and chemical use.
• Universal Compatibility: Suitable for most standard laboratory filtration sets, including vacuum filtration assemblies.
• Low Maintenance: A Simple mechanism with minimal moving parts ensures long-term reliability and easy serviceability.

Material Specifications

Although the clamp body is metallic, the filtration assembly components it interacts with are commonly produced using Borosilicate Glass 3.3, ensuring high safety and performance:

Clamp Body

• Material: MS Mild Steel
• Finish: Outer coated for corrosion resistance
• Mechanical Strength: High tensile strength, deformation-resistant

Glass Contact Components (Typically in Filtration Assembly)

• Material: Borosilicate Glass 3.3
• Thermal Resistance: Can withstand rapid temperature changes and thermal shock
• Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to acids, solvents, and most laboratory chemicals
• Standards: Manufactured in compliance with ISO 3585 / DIN / ASTM glassware standards

Technical Specifications

• Available Sizes: Designed to fit standard 47 mm and 90 mm filtration assemblies (custom sizes available on request)

• Dimensions: Optimized geometry for uniform pressure distribution and stable locking

• Clamping Accuracy: Ensures even sealing across the filtration interface; zero membrane slippage

• Operating Temperature: Suitable for use alongside glassware rated up to 200–250°C

Packaging:

• Individually packed
• Export-grade corrugated boxes with shock-resistant inner protection
• Bulk packaging available for distributors

Accessories Included: Metal clamp only (Filtration base, funnel, and support glassware sold separately)

OEM Options:

• Private labeling
• Customized coating and colors for large-volume orders

Handling & Precautions

• Safe Use: Apply uniform hand pressure while securing the clamp; avoid excessive force.

Cleaning:

• Wash using mild detergents and non-abrasive brushes
• Rinse thoroughly to prevent chemical buildup

Autoclaving: The clamp may be used with autoclaved glass components, but the clamp itself should not be autoclaved unless specified

Chemical Exposure: Avoid prolonged contact with strong alkalis or corrosive fumes

Dos and Don’ts:

• Do: Inspect regularly for coating wear or metal fatigue
• Don’t: Use if visibly bent, rusted, or deformed

Best Practices:

• Store in dry areas
• Keep away from moisture and corrosive chemicals
• Ensure proper alignment before engaging the clamp to prevent damage to glassware
