Description
BOLA grooved sleeves NS 60/46 PTFE are PTFE ground-joint sleeves for larger laboratory glassware connections. Produced from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), they feature sealing rings on the outside that remain easy to clean because they are fully accessible. Without an overhanging grip collar, the sleeve does not interfere with the placement of joint clamps. The robust design is suitable for vacuum work down to 0,1 mbar and for continuous laboratory service. Dimensions match European standard size NS 60/46. Delivered as one piece with a net weight of 0,0024 kg, the sleeve addresses assemblies that need PTFE chemical resistance together with a stable sealing geometry. The BOLA range from manufacturer Bohlender pairs external sealing rings with a clamp-compatible profile on conical joints. Typical use includes larger distillation columns, reaction vessels and vacuum glassware where a durable, cleanable PTFE sleeve must seal the joint without restricting mechanical clamping.

Questions about BOLA Sleeves with Ribs, NS 60/46 PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Sleeves with Ribs, NS 60/46 PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender for laboratory use. It sits in Grease, boiling stones & sealants, inside Tools & accessories, in Labware.
Grease seals a ground joint. Boiling stones give a liquid a place to start boiling so it does not bump. A sealant does the same job as grease when grease would contaminate the product. They are small, and they decide whether a joint weeps.
The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
