How the frame bosshead is used
Laboratory support frames are grids of horizontal and vertical rods fixed over or behind a bench, used where apparatus stays in place for longer than one lesson: distillation and reflux assemblies, gas generation trains or fixed physics rigs. The bosshead for frames is the joint at each crossing point, holding a rod or clamp to the frame at a firm right angle.
Malleable cast iron is iron that is cast and then heat-treated (tempered) so that it deforms slightly under overload instead of cracking like ordinary grey cast iron, which suits a heavily loaded joint. Chromium plating gives a bright, rust-resistant surface. The ring screw can be turned by hand, while the socket screw is tightened with a hexagon key.
- Place the bosshead on the frame rod at the crossing point required.
- Insert the second rod or clamp shank.
- Tighten the ring screw by hand and the socket screw with a hexagon key.
- Check that the joint is firm before hanging apparatus from it.
