Retort Ring without Boss Head
Product Code : SCL-AM-11548
The Retort Ring without Boss Head is a high-stability support instrument designed to hold separatory funnels, filter funnels, and round-bottom flasks. Primarily used in secondary and higher education chemistry, it enables gravitational filtration and liquid-phase separation. This modular tool requires a separate bosshead for mounting, offering curriculum-wide flexibility for STEM and TVET laboratory configurations involving complex borosilicate glassware setups.

Educational Benefits & Key Features
Feature: Closed-Loop Ring Architecture.
Benefit: Provides continuous 360-degree support for fragile borosilicate glass, eliminating the risk of glassware tilting or falling during critical liquid-solid separation procedures.
Feature: Modular Extension Arm.
Benefit: Solves the problem of fixed-distance mounting by allowing the user to choose specific bossheads (swivel or fixed) to achieve the exact lateral displacement required for complex distillation assemblies.
Feature: Industrial-Grade Epoxy Coating.
Benefit: Protects the metal substrate from oxidation and corrosive degradation when exposed to common laboratory reagents such as Sodium Hydroxide or Hydrochloric Acid.
Feature: Heavy-Gauge Material Density.
Benefit: Ensures high load-bearing capacity and minimal structural sagging, maintaining a perfectly horizontal plane even when supporting high-volume, liquid-filled containers.
Feature: Rounded Internal Edges.
Benefit: Reduces mechanical stress points on glass surfaces, preventing micro-fractures in analytical funnels during high-pressure manual adjustments.
Curriculum Alignment
This apparatus is precision-engineered to meet the rigorous hardware requirements of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and TVET (Technical and Vocational Education and Training) frameworks. It aligns with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) benchmarks for conducting controlled investigations involving mixtures, phase separations, and chemical purification.
