Technical Specifications

Specifications may vary based on selected size.

• Available Joint Sizes: 14/23, 19/26, 24/29, 29/32, 34/35, and other standard taper configurations.
• Bend Angle: Plain bend design optimised for smooth flow (typically 105°–120° depending on size).
• Length & Dimensions: Precision-crafted to ensure uniform fit with standard lab apparatus.
• Accuracy Class: Manufactured to tight tolerances for perfect joint sealing.
• Calibration: Not applicable (non-volumetric component)
• Accessories Included: None (compatible with all standard glassware systems)

Handling & Precautions

• Use with compatible ground joints only to prevent leakage or breakage.
• Avoid sudden thermal shocks; allow gradual heating and cooling.
• Suitable for autoclaving; recommended maximum temperature ≈ 500°C for dry heat.
• Clean using mild detergents or suitable solvent rinses; avoid abrasive cleaning materials.
• Inspect joints regularly for chips or cracks before assembly.
• Do not apply excessive mechanical force when fitting or removing joints.
• Store vertically or in padded racks to prevent accidental damage.

Applications

Receiver Adapters (Plain Bend) are widely used in:

• Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Biotech Laboratories
• University & Research Institutions
• QC/QA Laboratories
• Distillation, Solvent Recovery & Fractional Separation
• Analytical Chemistry, Organic Synthesis, and Sample Preparation
• Pilot-scale and R&D Facilities

They play a key role in directing condensate flow, connecting condensers to receivers, and ensuring safe, efficient handling of distillation outputs.
