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 14/29 joints 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 supplies it from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The condenser is made of molybdenum glass and is 450 mm long, with 14/29 joint size so it connects to flasks and adapters of the same standard taper. Its design keeps condensation continuous during a run, preserving the distillate, and it also suits reflux and purification set-ups.

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 is standard 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.
- 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.
- Purification practicals: recovering a solvent after extraction.
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 14/29 joints. The boiling flask, adapter, thermometer, water tubing, clamps and heater are separate items and can be quoted together 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. Reach us via the contact page, keep a running list in the enquiry cart, or review the lab tender page for tendered supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What length and joint size is the condenser?
It is 450 mm long 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 is listed for laboratory distillation, reflux experiments and purification; for reflux, clamp it vertically above the flask.
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 supplies it from Ambala, India, and can quote it alone or as part of a full distillation assembly.
Related Distillation Items
A condenser only works as part of a train: a flask to boil in, a heater, an adapter to the receiver and tubing for cooling water. These four Chemistry Lab items complete that train and can go on the same quotation.
- Round-bottom Flask — boiling flask with a matching 14/29 joint.
- Flask Electric Heater — heats the boiling flask.
- Adapter (Alunge) — leads the distillate into the receiver.
- Rubber Tube (Laboratory) — carries cooling water to the jacket.
