The Adapters, Cone Screw Thread is a specialized piece of laboratory glassware designed to create secure, leak-free, and stable connections in chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratory setups. These adapters feature a cone-shaped joint combined with a precision screw-thread mechanism, allowing a tight seal between two glass components or between glassware and flexible tubing.
Available at Scilabex.com and Scilabstore, this adapter is manufactured using premium-grade borosilicate glass, ensuring high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and long-term durability. Trusted by laboratories across India and globally, Scilabex provides PAN India & International Delivery, making it easy to access reliable scientific instruments for any laboratory environment.
What Is a Cone Screw Thread Adapter?
A Cone Screw Thread Adapter serves as a connector between laboratory apparatuses where a tight, stable seal is required. The design includes:
-
A cone-shaped joint (male or female) that fits standard lab glassware
-
A screw-thread system that enhances sealing capability
-
A secure threaded connection for tubing, bottles, condensers, and reaction vessels
This combination ensures stronger mechanical stability than standard tapered joints, making it ideal for vacuum systems, pressurized setups, and liquid transfer operations.
