Rectangular Glass Block

Whatsapp Order

Rectangular Glass Block is a precisely manufactured optical glass apparatus commonly used in physics and optics laboratories. It serves as a medium for experiments involving light refraction, reflection, and dispersion. The block’s uniform rectangular shape and polished surfaces provide clear, distortion-free passage of light, making it ideal for studying phenomena such as critical angle, total internal reflection, and lens behavior. Made from high-quality, optically clear glass, this block withstands repeated handling and laboratory conditions. It is essential for educational demonstrations and research in geometric optics and photonics.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

1.Basic Identification Attributes

Material: Usually stainless steel, aluminum, or durable plastic.
Shape: Flat, thin, rectangular or slightly curved blade attached to a handle.
Size: Small and lightweight for precise control.
Finish: Smooth, polished surface to prevent powder adherence.

2.Physical & Chemical Properties

Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most laboratory chemicals (metal or plastic grade dependent).
Durability: Sturdy yet lightweight for ease of use.
Surface: Smooth and non-porous to prevent sample contamination.

3.Safety & Hazard Attributes

Sharp edges may cause minor cuts; handle carefully.
Must be cleaned regularly to avoid cross-contamination.

4.Storage & Handling Attributes

Store in a clean, dry place to prevent corrosion (if metal).
Clean thoroughly after each use with suitable solvents or detergents.
Inspect for damage or corrosion before use.

5.Regulatory & Compliance Attributes

Manufactured to laboratory equipment standards.
Suitable for use in GMP and GLP compliant laboratories.

6.Environmental & Health Impact

Materials are generally recyclable (metal/plastic).
Durable design reduces frequent replacement and waste.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

Use gloves and eye protection when handling to prevent cuts and contamination.
Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent glass stress and breakage.

First Aid Measures

In case of cuts from broken glass, clean wound and seek medical attention if severe.
For eye exposure to glass shards, rinse with water and seek medical help immediately.
