Description
Glass flange, heavy-wall, DN 40 is a robust small flange component fabricated from borosilicate glass 3.3 for laboratory and process glassware assemblies. The heavy-wall design provides mechanical strength while maintaining the excellent chemical resistance and thermal properties characteristic of borosilicate 3.3. Intended as a connecting element in glass apparatus, it supports secure, vacuum-tight or pressure-resistant joints in experimental and production setups. Produced by manufacturer Rettberg, the flange carries the Rettberg® registered trademark and is supplied as a single piece. With a net weight of 0,142 kg it remains manageable for assembly work yet substantial enough for durable service. Suitable for use in chemical laboratories, pilot plants and technical glass systems where reliable flange connections of DN 40 size are required. The material choice ensures compatibility with a wide range of solvents, reagents and temperature cycles typical of borosilicate glassware applications.

Questions about Glass flange, thick-walled, DN 40
What is this article?
Glass flange, thick-walled, DN 40 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.
