Uses
Rubber tubing is the everyday connector of a science laboratory: it links Bunsen burners to bench gas taps, carries cooling water to and from condensers and joins glass tubes in gas-collection and distillation set-ups. The 8 mm bore suits standard laboratory nozzles and hose connectors.
The thick 4.5 mm wall keeps the tube round when it is bent, so it is less likely to kink or collapse and it grips a nozzle firmly. Rubber hardens and cracks with age, heat and sunlight, so lengths in use are checked regularly and replaced when they show wear.
- Cut the length needed from the 10 m roll with a sharp blade, keeping the end square.
- Moisten the nozzle with water and push the tubing on with a twisting movement.
- Check that the tubing is not kinked or stretched over hot surfaces.
- Inspect gas connections before each use and replace any cracked tubing.
