Product Description
The Cork Borer Set is a precision instrument set used in laboratories for cutting uniform cylindrical holes through corks, rubber stoppers, and soft polymers. Typically made of durable stainless steel, the set includes multiple hollow borers of varying diameters with sharpened edges, along with a cleaning rod or handle. It is essential for creating accurate openings to insert glass tubing or thermometers into stoppers for experimental setups involving sealed vessels or distillation systems.

Description

Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications

  • Used to bore precise holes in rubber stoppers and corks for inserting glassware like pipettes, tubing, or thermometers.

  • Supports chemical apparatus setup requiring airtight seals between glass components and stoppers.

  • Commonly used in distillation, filtration, and fermentation experiments.

  • Assists in custom-fitting tubing through corks in biology and chemistry labs.

  • Ideal for educational labs to teach principles of closed systems and apparatus assembly.

Industrial Applications

  • Employed in lab-scale manufacturing and prototyping for creating custom seals and connectors.

  • Used in instrument and equipment assembly involving rubber gaskets and seals.

  • Supports maintenance tasks in chemical process labs where stoppers need modification.

Secondary Uses
Other Industrial Uses

  • Applied in sample preparation for fieldwork in environmental labs.

  • Occasionally used in craft and precision material work outside the lab setting (non-primary use).
