Absorption Tower
An Absorption Tower is a vertical vessel used in industrial processes to remove specific components from gas streams by contact with a liquid solvent. This equipment facilitates mass transfer between the gas and liquid phases, allowing targeted pollutants or valuable compounds to be absorbed efficiently. Absorption Towers are commonly employed in chemical plants, refineries, and environmental control systems for gas scrubbing, purification, and recovery applications. They are designed for optimal gas-liquid contact, often using packing materials or trays to enhance surface area and improve absorption efficiency.
Banana Plug
The Banana Plug is a single-wire electrical connector used to join wires to equipment in testing, measuring, and laboratory applications. It features a cylindrical metal pin with a spring mechanism to ensure a secure and reliable connection. The plug is widely used for quick and easy connections in electronic testing devices, audio systems, and laboratory instruments. Made from high-conductivity metals such as brass or copper and often gold- or nickel-plated for corrosion resistance, the Banana Plug provides consistent electrical conductivity and durability.
Bernoulli Tube Apparatus
Bernoulli Tube Apparatus is a precision-engineered device designed to demonstrate and analyze the principles of fluid dynamics, specifically Bernoulli’s theorem. It consists of a transparent, variable-diameter horizontal tube equipped with multiple pressure tap points connected to manometer tubes. This allows for the visual observation and quantitative measurement of pressure, velocity, and flow relationships as fluid moves through different cross-sectional areas. Commonly used in laboratory and industrial fluid mechanics testing, it helps validate theoretical predictions in controlled experimental conditions.
clinostat clock type
The Clinostat Clock Type is a precision laboratory instrument designed to simulate microgravity conditions by continuously rotating biological samples or small objects along a horizontal axis. This rotation counteracts the effect of gravity, allowing researchers to study the effects of weightlessness on plant growth, cell cultures, and other biological specimens. Constructed with durable materials and calibrated for smooth, consistent rotation, the Clinostat Clock Type is widely used in botanical, microbiological, and space biology research.
Contact key
Product Description
The Contact Key is a fundamental switching device used in electrical circuits to manually open or close the flow of current. Commonly used in physics laboratories for demonstration and experimentation with circuits, it enables controlled activation of current for brief or sustained durations. Made from durable, conductive metals with insulating bases, Contact Keys are essential components in circuit testing, timing devices, and low-voltage experimental setups.
Crucible Tongs
Crucible Tongs are specialized metal tools designed for safely handling hot crucibles, evaporating dishes, and other laboratory apparatus exposed to high temperatures. Made from durable, heat-resistant metals such as stainless steel or nickel-plated steel, these tongs provide a firm grip, ensuring the safe transfer of heated items during laboratory procedures, including heating, melting, and chemical reactions.
Dip Needle
A Dip Needle is a finely balanced magnetic needle used to measure the magnetic dip or inclination angle of the Earth’s magnetic field. Mounted to pivot freely in a vertical plane, the needle aligns itself with the Earth’s magnetic field lines, enabling precise determination of the angle between the horizontal plane and magnetic field direction. Dip Needles are essential instruments in geophysics, navigation, and laboratory studies of magnetism. They provide crucial data for mapping magnetic variations, compass calibration, and educational demonstrations. Typically constructed with magnetized steel or alloy, dip needles are designed for sensitivity and durability in field and lab environments.
Liquorice Liquid
Liquorice Liquid is the dried root extract of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, known for its distinctive sweet flavor and medicinal properties. It contains glycyrrhizin, a compound that is 30–50 times sweeter than sugar. Liquorice is widely used as a flavoring agent in confectionery, beverages, and tobacco, as well as in traditional and modern medicine for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant effects.
