About This Product
The clamp is fitted to a frame or stand with a suitable boss head, and glassware is placed between the prongs before the screw is tightened slowly. It holds beakers, Erlenmeyer and boiling flasks, test tubes and burettes in chemistry and physics setups and reduces direct hand contact with mounted glass. Pressure is applied gradually, since overtightening can damage glassware.
