Description
Pilz®-standard heating mantle WHG2 is a laboratory heating mantle configured for round-bottom flasks of 4000 ml nominal capacity. With two heating zones and a maximum temperature of 450 °C, it enables controlled distillation, extraction, reflux and synthetic heating where uniform thermal contact with the flask surface is essential. The flexible heating construction follows the glassware contour and is intended for use together with external laboratory temperature control systems. Provided as one piece weighing 3,290 kg, this WHG2 mantle from manufacturer Winkler fits standard laboratory benches in research, teaching and industrial environments. Separate zones allow operators to apply different power levels to the lower and upper flask regions when gentle boil-up or more intensive heating phases are required. The unit addresses four-litre flask applications across organic chemistry, preparative workflows and general lab heating tasks that favour mantle heaters over rigid hot plates. Operate only with glassware and controllers rated for the intended temperature range to achieve stable, reproducible heating results in everyday laboratory practice.

Questions about Pilz®-standard heating mantle WHG2, 2 heating zones, up to 450 °C, 4000 ml
What is this article?
Pilz®-standard heating mantle WHG2, 2 heating zones, up to 450 °C, 4000 ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Winkler for laboratory use. It sits in Heating mantles, inside Heating, drying & cooling, in Lab instruments.
A heating mantle cups a round-bottom flask so the heat meets the glass without a bare flame. The flask volume the mantle was knitted for is the specification. A 1 L mantle under a 250 mL flask heats the air, not the liquid.
Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
