Support / Retort Ring Collection — durable metal support rings for retort stands and clamps Key benefits Reliable support: Precisely manufactured metal rings provide stable properties and high reliability for routine laboratory use. Stronger than plastic: Metal/iron rings carry heavier loads than plastic alternatives, reducing the risk of slippage or deformation under weight or heat. Long service life: Made from durable materials designed for prolonged use, minimizing replacement and downtime. Versatile use: Suitable for laboratory retort stands and retort clamps; broadly useful in labs, factories, and other technical settings. Product features Function: Support rings hold flasks, beakers, funnels or other apparatus on retort stands; they work with retort clamps to create secure, adjustable setups. Material: Metal / iron construction for improved strength and thermal resilience compared with plastic rings. Performance: Stable support under load, precise manufacturing tolerances for consistent fit and repeatable positioning. Compatibility: Designed for use with lab retort stands and retort clamps (retort stand / retort clamp systems). Why you need it Prevents accidents: A stronger metal ring reduces bending or failure when supporting heated or heavy glassware, improving safety. Saves time and cost: Durable construction lowers the need for frequent replacements common with plastic rings. Ensures consistent results: Stable, precise rings keep apparatus aligned for repeatable experimental setups. Typical applications Educational and research labs: Securely hold flasks and funnels on retort stands for titrations, filtration, or heating tasks. Industrial and factory testing: Support heavy or heated vessels during QA or process testing where plastic supports would deform. General lab support: Use as a dependable support element in chemistry, biology, and materials labs where long-term reliability is required. Ordering notes Variant options include support stand rings, support rings (metal), support retort rings, and iron lab support rings; each provides the metal strength and durability described above. Compatibility: Intended for use with retort stands and retort clamps; verify ring diameter and clamp dimensions against your existing stand if specific sizing is required.
