Various Uses of Vacuum Pin Tubes

Fri, 13 Sep 2013 11:10:04 +0530

Vacuum Pin Tube, also known as Evacuated Pin Tube, is used for collecting samples of molten material for the purpose of hydrogen analysis. Vacuum Pin Tubes are fabricated from borosilicate glass, and the wall thickness stays approximately 0.5 mm. Both the ends of the tube are sealed. The following section elaborates on how exactly the Vacuum Pin Tubes work.

How Do Vacuum Pin Tubes Work?

The characteristic feature of a Vacuum Pin Tube is the thin, approximately 1 mm., wall bulb section. When the tube is brought in contact with the molten sample such as gold, silver, steel, iron etc, the bulb melts and allows the fluid to enter into the tube. This results in the formation of a solid, slag-free pin.

The process described above involves the use of a simple spring holder that holds the Evacuated Pin Tube. It is the requirement of the process that tube be inserted into the molten metal precisely at an angle of 45°. Special care is taken for ensuring the same.

Vacuum Pin Tubes are available in varying volumetric capacity as well. For example, you can select tubes that can section half a gram or 1 gram of the sample from the pins. It is quite clear that Evacuated Pin Tubes are a simple apparatus for rapid sampling of molten metal.

Glass is a versatile material that can be used for making a wide range of objects such as decorative pieces, windows, kitchen ware and laboratory ware. Talking specifically about Lab Glassware, it is extensively used in scientific laboratories due to its durability and robustness. Laboratory Glassware is different from other types of glassware used for the purpose of cooking or serving food. It is specially designed to store chemicals and highly reactive agents. In spite of being robustly designed, Lab Glassware is as sensitive as the other glass objects are. Following are few tips that can be helpful for safely handling Lab Glassware:

The glassware slips easily when its surface is wet. Thus, while washing delicate Lab Glassware you must be extremely careful because most of the accidental breakage occurs while washing.

Before using the Laboratory Glassware, examine it very carefully for any chipping or crack. This is extremely important because the glassware may break or rupture while working and may severely hurt you or people around you.

Lab Glassware particularly needs to be safely handled while heating. The reason behind it is that glass heats up quickly and can severely burn your skin if mishandled.

Check you Lab Glassware regularly for stressed points. This unevenness arises due to the unequal heating of glassware. Such points are prone to easily break-off when the glassware is heated or used for storing chemicals.

Keep in mind the above-mentioned tips so as to ensure that the Laboratory Glassware lasts long. Besides, be careful enough to buy the glassware from reliable sources in the first place.

Using A Buchner Funnel

Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:44:26 +0530

Made of porcelain, glass or plastic, Buchner Funnel is a type of laboratory equipment used in filtration. In a Buchner Filter, a moist filter paper is placed on the top of the funnel that lets the liquid pass from one container to another. Although similar to Hirsch Funnel in its design, Buchner Funnel is rather used to hold a large volume of chemical. In this equipment, a vacuum pump is attached to the hole of the Buchner Funnel and that pump absorbs the liquid through the filter paper. This leaves the filtered, solid material behind.

Uses Of Buchner Funnel:

Being an important component of the Sigma Process Plant, Buchner Funnel is used during the distillation process as well as in the gas extraction unit as well.

This type of funnel is an important component in portable vacuum pumps and offers a larger shelf life to the product.

It is also used in a Steam Jet Ejector Vacuum System to increase the efficiency of the system.

A Buchner Funnel is also used during the phase separation process of large scale filtration plants. Besides, it is often used along with a Sinter Seals, Buchner Ring and Buchner Flask.

The major role of Buchner Funnel is to filter out unwanted impurities or waste from liquid. The vacuum pump attached to the funnel absorbs maximum liquid leaving behind impure solid material.

Things To Keep In Mind When Using A Buchner Funnel

When using a Buchner Funnel, one should remember that processing too much solvent through the funnel can choke up the vacuum pump.

One should always moist the filter paper before placing it in the container. This is important to avoid any kind of leakage at the initial stage of the filtration process.

Keep the suction pressure within its optimum range. Too much pressure can render the funnel dysfunctional.

What are the advantages of using the Membrane filter assembly in various industries?

Tue, 10 Feb 2015 13:11:05 +0530

The membrane filter technique is a substitute for the MPN technique and was introduced in the 1950s. The MPN is the procedure for analysing the water for any microbial presence. You can separate the bacterial colonies, when the MF technique is used. What made this better than MPN is that the latter could only tell you about the number of organisms present or the absence of them in the water. This very advantage made the Membrane Filter Assembly, to be accepted for testing any microbiological presence, absence and discretion in potable water. Furthermore, the membrane filter technique gathered a lot of audience because it allowed testing of a large amount of sample compared to any of the rival techniques. For presence of bacteria, 100 ml is the amount of water that is usually tested. The other techniques permit not more than 2 ml and at times, a few techniques let you to analyse only 0.5 ml. The system allows use of a filter funnel and a vacuum, and later the filter is replaced by a petri dish. This is a nutrient medium, which lets the organisms to grow and also helps in discretion of the bacterial colonies.

Uses of Membrane Filter Technique:

E coli are the most commonly present microorganism, which contaminate the water and can even become life-threatening. This is why the water supplying plants keep a check on these and use the MF technology to get a solution for the contamination.
Apart from the potable water supply by the government, this technique is also much used in the monitoring process of pharmacies, electronics and the cosmetics companies.
There are various advantages of using the MF technique. One of the most appreciated benefits is that the preparation time is not very huge compared to the rest of the methods.
This can be used on even very large volumes of samples.
Isolation and listing of the colonies of bacteria found in the sample are possible with the MF technique.
This is an effective technique, and lets one to remove the bacteria from the water.

How to choose the apt company?
You should be able to find various types of filtration assemblies. The filtration assembly with the joints and rubber fittings are a few examples.

Get pollution free with the new ideas

Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:32:18 +0530

With so much pollution and adulteration in the atmosphere there is a need for a filter program that can filter any unwanted substance and produce almost clear and clean residue. Science has become the solution to all the problems and has got the answer to this issue too, which is called vacuum tubes. The micro-organisms are hard to detect and when mixed with minute particle, they are almost impossible to trace. Hence, vacuum filtration is used for filtering microbiological particles, and they involve analytical procedures that help in collecting minute particles (bacteria, precipitate, etc.) from a liquid suspension and have lots more to it. They are used to collect a sample from molten gold, steel and silver, etc., which is required for hydrogen analysis and all. Vacuum Tube Manufacturers are now arising with grace in the commercial market.

Best price for the best material

The finest grade of borosil glasses are extensively used as they are resistant to harmful substances. The borosilicate filter flasks and silicone rubber stoppers are compatible with most filter holders. It is recommended to use flasks to collect filtrate or to act as a trap to prevent liquid from damaging pump or vacuum line. Suppliers across the globe supply a wide range of vacuum filter holders and accessories. The manufacturing companies come with high prices but get the work done in an efficient manner. The quality can be compromised when it comes to severe competition among the manufacturers, but then you need to check before finalizing one. Satisfaction of the clients should be the one and only motto of the companies. The companies do come up with products that satisfy your needs, and that is what is expected of them.

The best of tubes

There is no doubt that a number of manufacturers are there on the market, however, only the best ones survive in here. The borosilicate material developed by them is a highly reliable product. With best manufacturers you get light weigh, thin up to 0.5mm approx. wall bulb section which is the weak point, as it breaks on contact with the molten metal. This is very much necessary and should be precise as after this breakage, the molten metal enters the tube to form a solid, slag free metal pin every time. These tubes are available on the market at attractive prices and there are lots of models to choose from.
