Liebig Condenser for Distillation of Water
Product Code : SCL-CL-11909
Liebig Condenser for Distillation of Water (SKU SCL-CL-11909) is a 450 mm molybdenum glass condenser with a 14/29 joint that cools hot vapour back into liquid during distillation. Cold water flows through the outer jacket while vapour passes down the inner tube, so the distillate is collected instead of being lost as steam. Science Lab Supplies prepares quotations for it in Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Length, glass type and joint details of this 450 mm condenser fill one row each in the table below. In short, it is molybdenum glass on a 14 mm section with a 14/29 joint, so it connects to flasks and adapters of the same taper, and it keeps condensation continuous so the distillate is preserved.

Applications and Experiments for the Liebig Condenser
The Liebig condenser is the cooling stage of a simple distillation: vapour from a heated flask condenses inside it and runs into a receiver. It suits laboratory distillation apparatus in India for CBSE/NCERT separation practicals, B.Sc. organic chemistry and chemical or pharmacy technician training.
- Class 9–12: distilling water to show separation of a dissolved solid from its solvent, with the vapour temperature read on one of the Laboratory Thermometers.
- Class 12 and B.Sc.: separating miscible liquids with different boiling points.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry: reflux of a reaction mixture with the condenser held vertically in a Three Prong Glassware Holding Clamp.
- Purification practicals: recovering a solvent after extraction; for larger volumes of distilled water, compare the Distiller for Distilled Water.
Feed cooling water into the lower jacket inlet and out of the upper one so the jacket stays full, clamp the condenser at its middle, and never heat a closed system.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one 450 mm Liebig condenser in molybdenum glass with a 14/29 joint. The boiling flask, adapter, thermometer, water tubing, clamps and heater can be added to the same quotation to build a complete distillation assembly.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order a single condenser to replace a broken one or a batch for every distillation bench. The quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and matching 14/29 flasks and adapters can be listed so the joints fit on arrival.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Building a distillation train? Describe the joints and benches on the contact page, put the condenser and flasks in the enquiry cart, or refer to the lab tender page for tendered supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What length and joint size is the condenser?
It is 450 mm long on a 14 mm section with a 14/29 joint size, so it fits flasks and adapters made to the same 14/29 standard taper.
Can it be used for reflux as well as distillation?
Yes. It suits laboratory distillation, reflux experiments and purification work; for reflux, clamp it vertically above the boiling flask so the condensate runs back down.
What else is needed for a distillation set-up?
A 14/29 round-bottom flask, a heat source, an adapter to the receiver, a thermometer, rubber tubing for the cooling water and a stand with clamps.
Who supplies the Liebig Condenser for Distillation of Water?
Science Lab Supplies offers it from Ambala, India, either as a single replacement condenser or within a full distillation assembly quoted with matching flasks, adapters and tubing.
