Description
The product identified by the code SB51025 is a Sliding Clamp, a piece of equipment commonly used in laboratory and science education settings. It is designed to securely hold cylindrical glassware and other apparatus to a support stand.
Key Features:
Material: The clamp is constructed from a durable, corrosion-resistant chrome-plated zinc alloy.
Jaw Design: It features a V-groove in the jaws, which provides a secure, two-point grip on round items like burettes, test tubes, or thermometers, preventing them from rotating or slipping.
Clamping Mechanism: The jaws are spring-loaded for easy one-handed operation when placing or removing an item. A thumbscrew allows the user to then lock the clamp firmly in place, securing the apparatus.
Capacity: The jaws can open to hold objects up to 1 inch (25 mm) in diameter.
Mounting: As a "sliding" clamp, it is designed to be slipped over the top of a standard laboratory support rod and can be moved vertically to the desired height before being secured.
Intended Use:
The primary function of the Sliding Clamp is to attach burettes to a ring stand during titration experiments. Its design allows for quick adjustments and secure holding, which is critical for accurate and safe laboratory work. It can also be used to hold other similarly sized apparatus, such as test tubes, thermometers, or small flasks, when a secure, adjustable vertical mount is needed. This makes it a versatile and essential tool for chemistry, biology, and other science labs.
