Description
BOLA round rods with pores, 5 µm, are microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) stock pieces intended for further machining and processing in the laboratory. Each rod has a defined pore size of 5 µm, an approximate diameter of 28 mm and an approximate length of 100 mm, giving a practical blank for turning, milling, cutting or other secondary operations. Diameter and length are nominal values and may therefore include a machining allowance, so finished dimensions can be achieved from the supplied stock. The material is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in microporous form, combining the chemical character of PTFE with an open pore structure that can be shaped into custom laboratory components. Offered as a single piece with a net weight of 0,099 kg, the rod is suitable wherever porous PTFE needs to be adapted on site rather than used as a finished filter element. These BOLA rods from manufacturer Bohlender provide a straightforward starting form for workshops and labs that require microporous PTFE blanks in a round-rod geometry for further fabrication.
This article is part of Stands, rods & bases, in Stands, clamps & racks.

Questions about BOLA Filtering Rods, 5 µm Ø ca. 28 x L=100 mm Porous PTFE
What is this article?
BOLA Filtering Rods, 5 µm Ø ca. 28 x L=100 mm Porous PTFE is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bohlender for laboratory use. It sits in Stands, rods & bases, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Labware.
A retort stand is a base and a rod. The base mass keeps a clamped flask from tipping. Rod diameter decides which bossheads fit. A light base under a heavy condenser is how glassware falls.
A stand, a clamp and a rack hold something still so the hands can do the work. A bosshead locks a clamp to a rod. A test-tube rack keeps tubes upright and in an order the operator can read back. The failure is almost always mechanical: the clamp slips, or the rack does not match the tube diameter. The glass they support is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
Which category should I open next?
