Description The 3 prong retort clamp with rubber-covered prongs is a lab essential, providing a steadfast grip on glassware like flasks, beakers, and test tubes. It is an essential piece of equipment in the laboratory, providing a secure and stable means of holding glassware. Its rubber-covered prongs enhances safety and minimizes the risk of damage to the glassware. Approximate Dimensions. Overall Length: 250mm Support Shaft Diameter: 140mm Maximum Jaw Opening: 100mm Prongs. The clamp has three prongs, made of alloy steel. These prongs extend outward from a central point and are designed to securely grip the glassware. The rubber covering on the prongs serves several purposes. It provides a non-slip surface and protects the glassware from scratches or damage. Basically, it helps to ensure a secure grip, without exerting too much pressure. Clamp Mechanism. The clamp mechanism is adjustable, allowing users to adjust the distance between the prongs to accommodate different sizes of glassware. This adjustability is crucial for ensuring a tight and secure grip on the glassware. This adaptability is vital for maintaining a snug and secure grip, furthermore, preventing any inadvertent slippage or breakage during experiments.
