Description
BOLA spherical ground joint grip collar seals S 40 made of PTFE are sealing elements for laboratory spherical ground joints. Fabricated entirely from polytetrafluoroethylene, each seal combines a protruding grip collar with external sealing rings that deliver a high-vacuum-tight interface. The stated leak rate is less than 1 × 0,01 mbar × l × s/1, supporting reliable vacuum work in chemical synthesis, distillation and analytical setups. Sized to European standard S 40, the parts mate directly with matching spherical ground joint components. The robust PTFE construction is intended for continuous laboratory use and offers the chemical inertness typical of this polymer. Handling is simplified by the over-standing grip collar, which aids assembly and removal without tools. Supplied as a pack of 2 pieces with a net weight of 0,0076 kg, these seals from manufacturer Bohlender provide a durable sealing solution for spherical ground joint glassware where vacuum integrity and chemical resistance are required. They are suitable for pairing with corresponding spherical joint balls and sockets in routine laboratory vacuum lines and apparatus.

Questions about BOLA Spherical Ground Joint Sleeves, S 40 PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Spherical Ground Joint Sleeves, S 40 PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender for laboratory use. It sits in PVC, PTFE & other tubing, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
PVC is the flexible everyday tube for water and mild aqueous liquids. PTFE is the stiff, almost inert tube for solvents. Other polymers sit between them. The bore, the wall and the chemical resistance are the specification, and the tube is cut to length.
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.
Which category should I open next?
