Description
The adapter, socket NS 60/46 to cone NS 29/32 is a precision ground-joint transition piece produced from borosilicate glass 3.3. This reducing adapter bridges large-diameter laboratory glassware fitted with an NS 60/46 socket to smaller components carrying an NS 29/32 cone, enabling compact and leak-tight connections. With a net weight of 0,130 kg it combines substantial mechanical stability with the outstanding thermal-shock resistance of borosilicate glass 3.3. Supplied by manufacturer Rettberg, the joint surfaces are ground to precise NS taper dimensions that ensure reliable sealing under vacuum or atmospheric conditions when used with grease or PTFE sleeves. Typical laboratory uses include large-scale distillation apparatus, reactor heads and multi-neck flask assemblies where a significant reduction in joint size is required. The material offers broad chemical resistance to acids, bases and organic solvents commonly employed in research and process chemistry. Delivered as 1 pc, the adapter integrates directly into standard DIN/ISO glassware collections and facilitates flexible apparatus design without specialised fabrication.

Questions about Adapter, socket size 60/46 to cone size 29/32
What is this article?
Adapter, socket size 60/46 to cone size 29/32 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Rettberg for laboratory use. It sits in Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A hose connector or adapter joins two lines, or steps one bore down to another. The barb diameter has to match the tube, and the thread has to match the stopcock or the bottle. Most leaks are a mismatch here, not a hole in the tube.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
