Product Description
borosilicate glass imhoff cone ,a clear , cone- shaped container marked with graduations .the cone is used to measure the volume of settleable solid in a specific volume [ usually one liter] of water or wastewater.Reliable Sedimentation AnalysisThis glass cone ensures accurate and repeatable sedimentation measurements due to its precise graduations and robust borosilicate glass construction. Its transparency enables clear observation, essential in water treatment, soil testing, and industrial labs. Conforming to ISO and ASTM standards, it delivers quality results researchers and technicians can trust.
User-Friendly and Durable DesignNo stopcock or stopper ensures easy manual operation. The cones conical shape and graduated markings make measurements straightforward. With a 1-liter capacity and resistance to temperatures up to 200C, it is both versatile and durableideal for demanding laboratory procedures and repeated use.
Hygienic and Easy MaintenanceBeing autoclavable and washable, this sedimentation cone is simple to clean and maintain. Its non-sterile nature is suitable for general laboratory usage, while the chemical resistance of borosilicate glass extends its usability and lifespan even in rigorous environments.
FAQs of sedimentation test glass cone:
Q: How is the sedimentation test glass cone used during sedimentation analysis?
A: To perform sedimentation analysis, add the sample liquid and solid mixture to the cone, allow the solids to settle, and observe the sediment levels against the clear graduated scale for accurate volume readings. It is manually operated and does not include a stopcock or stopper.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this glass cone for sedimentation tests?
A: The transparent, graduated design provides clear, precise volume measurements, while borosilicate glass ensures strong chemical resistance and durability. Its ease of cleaning and compatibility with high-temperature sterilization make it an excellent choice for repetitive laboratory use.
Q: Where can this cone be applied aside from soil testing?
A: This sedimentation cone is widely used in water treatment, laboratory research, industrial sedimentation analysis, and educational settings where sedimentation processes require reliable, repeatable measurement results.
Q: What cleaning and sterilization processes are recommended for this equipment?
A: The cone is autoclavable and washable. Use standard autoclaving protocols for sterilization and clean with mild laboratory detergents to maintain glass clarity and accuracy of graduation markings.
Q: When should the cones graduations be referenced, and how accurate are they?
A: Graduations should be referenced whenever measuring liquid volume or sediment levels. The marks offer 2% volume graduation accuracy, ensuring reliable data collection and analysis during the sedimentation process.
Q: Is the cone suitable for high-temperature testing procedures?
A: Yes, the borosilicate glass construction allows safe use at temperatures up to 200C, making it ideal for various laboratory and industrial sedimentation procedures involving elevated temperatures.
Q: What distinguishes the sedimentation test glass cone from other similar products?
A: This cone stands out due to its compliance with ISO and ASTM standards, chemical-resistant borosilicate glass, clear graduated markings, easy manual use, and its capacity for accurate sedimentation analysis across multiple applications.
