Distillation Delivery Adapter Long Stem

A distillation delivery adapter is a specialized piece of laboratory glassware used in distillation setups to direct the flow of condensed vapor into a receiving flask. It typically connects the condenser to the receiving flask, providing a pathway for the purified liquid to be collected. These adapters are designed with specific features like angled bends and drip tips to ensure efficient and clean transfer of the distillate.

A receiving adapter with a drip tip is used after the condenser to direct the liquid into the collection flask.

Purpose: Distillation delivery adapters are crucial for separating liquids based on their boiling points. The adapter's role is to guide the condensed vapor, which is now in liquid form, into a separate container for collection.

Key Features:

• Angled Bend: Many adapters feature a bend (often 75° or 105°) to direct the flow downwards into the receiving flask.
• Joints: They usually have standard taper ground glass joints that allow for secure and airtight connections with other glassware components like condensers and receiving flasks.
• Drip Tip: Some adapters have a drip tip or a delivery stem to ensure that the liquid flows smoothly and doesn't splash or drip outside the receiving flask.

Materials: Distillation delivery adapters are typically made of borosilicate glass due to its resistance to high temperatures and chemical corrosion.
