Durability: Heavy wall glassware is designed to be more robust and durable than standard glassware. It is often used when additional strength is needed, for example, in reactions involving pressure or when using heavy or dense materials. The heavy wall construction provides extra stability.
Unground Female Joint:
Flexible Assembly: Unground female joints do not have a precision ground surface. This lack of precision allows for a more flexible and less rigid connection. These joints may be suitable for applications where a tight, airtight seal is not critical, and flexibility in assembly and disassembly is more important.
Bistable Joints:
Switchable Configurations: The term “bistabil” may suggest joints that have two stable states or configurations. This could be relevant in setups where the apparatus needs to switch between different configurations during an experiment. It might also imply a certain flexibility or adaptability in the laboratory apparatus.
