Frequently Asked Questions
Do clamps come with the retort stand?
No. The stand is supplied as base, rod and lock washer. Boss heads and burette or flask clamps are ordered separately to suit each experiment.
What diameter is the rod?
The rod is 12 mm in diameter and 600 mm long, so it takes boss heads that grip rods of 8–16 mm, and its smooth surface lets a fitting slide and lock at any height.
Who supplies the Laboratory Retort Stand?
Enquiries for this stand are answered by Science Lab Supplies of Ambala, India. Quotations for schools, colleges, distributors and contractors are prepared by the company itself and can include the clamps and boss heads that fit the rod.
How is the stand assembled?
Pass the threaded end of the rod through the lock washer, screw it into the tapped hole in the base until it seats flat, and tighten it firmly.
