Heating Mantel in Maharashtra
A heating mantle is a laboratory device used to apply uniform heat to containers, typically round-bottom flasks, without the risk of direct flame exposure. It consists of a fabric or fiberglass exterior that encases insulated resistance wires. These wires generate heat when supplied with electricity, providing gentle and even heating to the vessel. Heating mantles are widely used in chemical, biological, and industrial laboratories for distillation, refluxing, extraction, and other processes requiring controlled heating.
Properties of Heating Mantles
- Uniform Heating – Provides even distribution of heat around the flask.
- Temperature Control – Available with built-in thermostats or external temperature controllers.
- Safety – Reduces the risk of glassware breakage compared to direct flame heating.
- Capacity Range – Available in different sizes (from 50 mL to several liters).
- Durability – Made with heat-resistant fiberglass and insulated wiring.
- Compatibility – Designed to fit round-bottom flasks of standard sizes.
- Variants – Available as single mantle units, multiple mantle units, and stirring mantles with integrated magnetic stirrers.
