Description
Rod without thread, 500 × 12 mm, galvanised is a straight laboratory support rod intended for retort stands and similar apparatus frameworks. Fabricated from steel with a galvanised surface finish, the rod provides a durable, corrosion-resistant shaft for clamping bosses, rings and other laboratory fittings. Its plain (unthreaded) design allows free positioning of clamps along the full length, making it suitable for flexible assembly of distillation, filtration or general support setups. Dimensions are 500 mm in length and 12 mm in diameter, giving a robust yet manageable profile for bench-top use. The galvanised coating protects the steel against everyday laboratory atmospheres and occasional moisture exposure. This component from manufacturer Usbeck is commonly employed in educational, research and quality-control laboratories wherever a reliable, non-threaded vertical or horizontal support bar is required. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,430 kg, it integrates readily into existing stand systems.

Questions about Rod Zinc Plated 500 X 12 mm
What is this article?
Rod Zinc Plated 500 X 12 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Stands, rods & bases, inside Stands, clamps & racks, in Matériel de laboratoire.
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.
