Glass Thermometer Adapter 24/40

Glass thermometer adaptor 24/40 is a laboratory accessory designed to connect a thermometer to a piece of glassware, such as a reaction vessel or distillation apparatus. The "24/40" part refers to the size of the glass joints: it has a 24mm outer diameter and 40mm length for the joint, which is a standard size in laboratory glassware.

• Glass construction: It is made of durable, heat-resistant Pyrex glass, which allows it to withstand high temperatures without cracking or breaking.

• Joint sizes: The 24/40 is a common size for laboratory equipment. The adaptor has a male or female 24/40 joint that fits into other pieces of equipment that have matching 24/40 joints.

• Function: It allows for a thermometer to be securely inserted into a reaction flask or similar equipment, ensuring that the thermometer stays in place while measuring temperature. This is important in experiments requiring precise temperature control.

• Shape and design: These adaptors have a small opening that holds the thermometer snugly, ensuring the thermometer's reading is accurate without exposing it to the environment or chemicals in the vessel.

It’s a useful tool for anyone working with temperature-sensitive processes in a lab, such as distillation, titration, or reactions that require monitoring temperature closely.
