Description
The bent drying tube is a classic laboratory glassware item also known as a calcium chloride tube, intended for moisture control in gas lines and apparatus setups. Its angled geometry allows convenient orientation when space is limited or when the drying section must follow a specific path within an assembly. The unit is supplied as a single piece with FA 10 connection and is suitable for packing with common desiccants such as calcium chloride to protect moisture-sensitive reactions or analytical streams. Produced by manufacturer Witeg, this compact drying tube integrates readily into standard glassware configurations used in teaching, research and routine laboratory work. With a net weight of only 0,018 kg it remains easy to handle and mount. Typical applications include drying carrier gases, safeguarding hygroscopic reagents and maintaining low-humidity conditions in closed systems. The bent form reduces stress on adjacent joints and tubing while providing a stable section for desiccant fill. Laboratories seeking a straightforward, reliable drying accessory for everyday experimental setups will find this tube a practical component for gas-handling and reaction apparatus.

Questions about Drying tube, bent, 1 FA 10
What is this article?
Drying tube, bent, 1 FA 10 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg for laboratory use. It sits in Distillation heads, adapters & columns, inside Distillation & extraction glassware, in Labware.
A still head, an adapter or a column is the glass between the boiling flask and the condenser. A Vigreux or packed column gives the vapour a surface so a closer-boiling mixture can separate. The joint sizes at both ends have to match the flask and the condenser.
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.
