Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Three-finger jaw geometry.
Benefit: Provides a versatile, multi-point grip that stabilizes irregular or non-cylindrical glassware, reducing the risk of accidental slippage during complex distillation or titration procedures.
Feature: Jumbo-sized expansion capacity.
Benefit: Accommodates high-volume borosilicate flasks and wide-bore condensers that standard utility clamps cannot secure, enabling larger-scale classroom demonstration experiments.
Feature: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) coated fingers.
Benefit: Acts as a mechanical cushion and thermal insulator for glass surfaces, preventing stress fractures caused by direct metal-to-glass contact or rapid temperature fluctuations.
Feature: Dual-screw adjustment system.
Benefit: Enables the precise axial centering of the apparatus over heat sources or magnetic stirring plates, which is critical for maintaining uniform heat distribution in chemical reactions.
Feature: Corrosion-resistant chrome plating.
Benefit: Resists chemical degradation from exposure to aggressive vapors, such as Hydrogen Chloride or concentrated Acetic Acid, extending the instrument's operational lifespan in high-use institutional laboratories.
