Chemglass Reflux Condenser 315mm 24/40 Joint

The Chemglass CG-1213-09 Reflux Condenser is a piece of laboratory glassware designed for the efficient condensation of vapors and their return to the reaction vessel during refluxing, a common technique for heating reaction mixtures for extended periods at their boiling point without solvent loss. This condenser has an overall length of 315mm and features 24/40 standard taper inner and outer joints, a widely used size for secure and compatible connections with other glassware in a laboratory setup.

The 150mm column length refers to the jacketed portion of the condenser, which provides a significant surface area for the circulation of a cooling fluid, such as water, around the inner vapor tube. This cooling action effectively condenses the rising vapors back into liquid form, ensuring they drip back into the reaction flask. This reflux condenser is an essential component for many organic chemistry and other laboratory procedures that involve heating volatile solvents and reaction mixtures for extended durations.
