How the retort clamp is used
The four prongs touch the glassware at four points around its circumference, so a round flask neck or a thin tube is centred and held without rocking. Because the grip stays firm at all opening angles, the same clamp can hold a thin thermometer or side-arm tube near the bottom of its range and a wide flask neck or condenser near the top.
Cork is a traditional clamp lining because it is slightly soft, grips glass without scratching it and insulates, which makes it a good choice where the clamped glass becomes warm, as with a condenser or a reflux flask.
- Fix the 145 mm rod in a bosshead on the retort stand.
- Open the jaws wider than the item, position the glassware and close the prongs around it.
- Tighten until the cork linings hold the glass firmly without strain.
- Recheck the grip after assembly and before heating starts.
