Straight Anti-Splash Ball (often listed as a straight distillation adapter or Kjeldahl splash head) is a specialized laboratory glass component used to prevent liquid carry-over (entrainment) during distillation. Its vertical, straight-line design is ideal for setups where space is limited or where a direct vapor path is required.
Key Advantages
- Purity Protection: Effectively prevents un-vaporised liquid from contaminating the distillate, which is critical in Kjeldahl nitrogen determination and organic synthesis.
- Universal Compatibility: Precision-ground joints are compatible with other standard laboratory glassware like boiling flasks and condensers.
- Chemical Durability: Highly resistant to water, acids, and salt solutions (Water Resistant Grade 1).
- Material: High-quality Borosilicate 3.3 Glass (Boro 3.3) for high thermal shock resistance and chemical durability.
- Design: A straight vertical tube featuring an integrated spherical bulb (splash ball) that acts as an expansion chamber to trap liquid droplets while allowing vapor to pass through
