Description
Self-venting drum tap Air in polyethylene is a compact dispensing fitting for drums and containers that requires no separate ventilation opening. The transparent body is manufactured from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and incorporates a 3/4'' external male thread together with a nominal width (NW) of 13 mm. An integrated self-venting channel maintains steady liquid flow by equalising pressure during emptying, while the silicone seal ensures reliable tightness at the connection. This practical tap from manufacturer Bürkle is supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,035 kg and is intended for controlled transfer of media compatible with LDPE and silicone. Its lightweight, transparent construction supports visual monitoring of the flow path and simplifies installation on matching drum outlets. Suitable for laboratory, pilot-plant and industrial fluid-handling tasks, the Air series design combines straightforward operation with robust everyday durability for aqueous and many organic liquids.

Questions about Spigot ''Air'' self-venting, PE, 3/4'' outer- NW 13mm
What is this article?
Spigot ''Air'' self-venting, PE, 3/4'' outer- NW 13mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bürkle for laboratory use. It sits in Canisters & jerrycans, inside Bottles & containers, in Labware.
A canister or jerrycan holds litres, not millilitres, and it is shaped to be carried and to pour. The material has to survive the liquid for the whole time the can sits in the store.
A laboratory bottle is a closed container with a stated volume and a neck that takes a cap, a stopper or a dispenser. Borosilicate glass is the choice when the liquid is a solvent, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved. Polyethylene and polypropylene are the choice when the bottle must not shatter, or when hydrofluoric acid would attack glass. A narrow mouth pours. A wide mouth is for powders and for reaching the bottom. Laboratory ware of this kind is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Traceable volume sits with the BIPM and NIST Physical Measurement.
