Description
Spherical joint ball KS 19/9 is a laboratory glassware fitting designed for grease-free, flexible spherical ground-joint connections. Fabricated from borosilicate glass 3.3, this ball component is part of the Rotulex system and serves as the male spherical joint element in modular glass apparatus, reaction setups and vacuum lines. The KS 19/9 size designation corresponds to a widely used intermediate spherical joint standard, enabling angular adjustment between glass sections without the application of joint grease. This reduces the risk of sample contamination and eases cleaning after use. Delivered as one piece with a net weight of 0,019 kg, the joint ball is suitable for analytical, synthetic and process laboratories that rely on adaptable Schliff connections. Manufactured by Rettberg within the Rotulex range, it offers secure yet movable coupling of borosilicate glassware under normal laboratory thermal and chemical loads. Borosilicate glass 3.3 ensures good resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack. The component fits standard Rotulex and KS spherical joint assemblies wherever a grease-free, flexible ball joint of size KS 19/9 is required.
This article is part of Ground-joint glassware (other), in Distillation & extraction glassware.

Questions about Spherical joint ball size 19/9, for grease-free, flexible connection,
What is this article?
Spherical joint ball size 19/9, for grease-free, flexible connection, is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Rettberg for laboratory use. It sits in Ground-joint glassware (other), inside Distillation & extraction glassware, in Labware.
This is ground-joint glassware that is not a head, a condenser or a Soxhlet: receivers, blank joints, odd adapters. A ground joint is named by the wide end and the length, such as 29/32. Mismatched joints do not seal, even with grease.
Distillation separates liquids by boiling point. A condenser turns the vapour back into liquid: Liebig, coil and cold-finger shapes differ in how much cooling surface they offer. A still head and a column sit between the flask and the condenser. A Soxhlet extractor washes a solid again and again with the same solvent. Ground joints have a standard size, and the joint, not the flask, is what has to match. The pieces are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
