Educational Benefits & Key Features
Feature: Heavy-Gauge Sheet Metal Base.
Benefit: Provides a low center of gravity that prevents the assembly from toppling when supporting offset loads, such as heavy condensers or liquid-filled separatory funnels.
Feature: Oven-Baked Epoxy Finish.
Benefit: Protects the metallurgical substrate from oxidative degradation when exposed to corrosive vapors from substances like Hydrochloric Acid or Sodium Hydroxide.
Feature: Precision-Threaded Rod Socket.
Benefit: Ensures the support rod remains perfectly perpendicular to the benchtop, which is critical for accurate meniscus readings in volumetric titration experiments.
Feature: Nickel-Plated Support Rod.
Benefit: Reduces friction for bosshead adjustments while preventing surface rust, ensuring smooth vertical movement during the micro-positioning of laboratory apparatus.
Feature: Space-Efficient Rectangular Footprint.
Benefit: Maximizes available bench space in high-occupancy classrooms while providing sufficient lateral stability for standard analytical procedures.
