Steam Distillation Heads (sloping)

Steam Distillation Heads (Sloping) are highly specialized laboratory glassware components engineered for the efficient separation of heat-sensitive volatile organic compounds from non-volatile matrices. Fabricated from premium borosilicate glass, these splash heads feature a downward-sloping side arm that optimizes vapor condensation and directs distillates smoothly toward the condenser assembly.

The intelligent sloping architecture is paired with an integrated internal splash-head design (often featuring a Kjeldahl-style bulb or vapor trap). This structural barrier prevents aggressive boiling solutions or raw steam condensate from accidentally bumping or splashing upward into the pure distillate line. Equipped with precision interchangeable ground glass joints, these heads ensure a gas-tight, vacuum-capable seal critical for maintaining high-purity extraction pathways.

Key Features

• Manufactured from premium borosilicate 3.3 glass for maximum chemical inertness and superior thermal shock resistance
  
• Downward-sloping side arm optimized to promote efficient vapor flow and reduce condensate holdup
  
• Built-in splash-back trap configuration to eliminate raw solution contamination during vigorous steam injection
  
• Precision-ground interchangeable upper socket, lower cone, and side cone joints for airtight, leak-proof performance
  
• Heavy-wall glass tooling at critical joint intersections to ensure high mechanical strength and structural longevity
• International Standards

Our steam distillation heads are engineered and manufactured in strict compliance with globally accepted dimensional and engineering specifications, ensuring seamless compatibility across international laboratory setups and export markets:

• ISO 4797 – Laboratory Glassware – Flasks with Ground Joints and Connection Heads
  
• ISO 383 – Laboratory Glassware – Interchangeable Conical Ground Joints
  
• ASTM E438 – Standard Specification for Glasses in Laboratory Apparatus Manufacturing
• Available in multiple joint size combinations (e.g., 14/23, 19/26, 24/29, 29/32) across the socket, bottom cone, and side arm. Custom sloping angles, specialized jacketed configurations, and alternative bulb diameters can be engineered to match specific B2B client blueprints or wholesale catalog specifications.

Applications

Extensively utilized across essential oil extraction plants, flavor and fragrance R&D laboratories, pharmaceutical testing facilities, environmental water testing stations (for phenol or ammonia determination), and academic organic chemistry research centers.
