Description
KPG stirring shaft WG 16 is a glass laboratory stirrer shaft for 6000 ml flat-flange reaction vessels. It features a nominal diameter of 16 mm, an overall length of 510 mm and is produced from borosilicate glass 3.3. The running surface is ground and polished and fitted with a grease cup for stable operation in KPG bearings. An exchangeable U-shaped stirring blade is dimensioned for necks with an inner diameter of 145 mm, supporting efficient mixing in larger batch volumes. This single-piece shaft from manufacturer Rettberg is appropriate for preparative chemistry, process development and general laboratory stirring where dimensional fit and chemical durability are essential. Borosilicate 3.3 glass provides the expected resistance to thermal shock and common reagents. Net weight is 0,125 kg. Use this 510 mm WG 16 model to complete KPG stirring assemblies on 6000 ml plan-flange reactors in research or pilot environments.

Questions about KPG-stirring shaft, WG 16, lenght 510 mm, for reaction vessels 6000 ml,
What is this article?
KPG-stirring shaft, WG 16, lenght 510 mm, for reaction vessels 6000 ml, is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Rettberg for laboratory use. It sits in Stirring shafts, propellers & impellers, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A shaft, a propeller or an impeller is the wetted end of an overhead stirrer. The diameter and the pitch decide whether the liquid turns over. The material, stainless steel or PTFE, decides what the liquid may be. The chuck size has to match the stirrer.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
