Cowie®, PTFE Reactor Lids and Fittings, NPT Compression Screw Fittings

Description

Use COWIE® NPT Compression Screw Fittings with PTFE Reactor Lids to hold items such as temperature probes and sampling tubes securely in place. Compression fittings are manufactured from pure PTFE and include a PEEK olive to give a secure grip.

Compression fittings for standard taper ground glass joints are also available.

Reactor Lid System

Many of today’s process chemistry, pharmaceutical and biotech laboratories and manufacturing units face an increasing demand to use equipment which is Pure, Chemically Resistant, Cleanable, and Durable.

The COWIE® Reactor Lid System meet these demands and provide a versatile and cost effective means for the assembly of a whole range of equipment in flanged reactors and similar vessels and offers these unique features.

• Screw-in assembly of fittings to give flexibility, versatility, and significant cost savings.
• All fittings are interchangeable for the same thread sizes.
• Can accommodate all usual ancillary equipment, condensers, probes, etc.
• Improved durability and safety compared to conventional glass lids.
• High mechanical strength to support large probes and other equipment.
• Improved thermal insulation.
• Reduced condensation.

PTFE used in the manufacture of COWIE® NPT Compression Screw Fittings is pure, virgin material, which conforms to FDA and USP Class VI requirements.

• Chemically Inert
• Reduce contamination and simplify cleaning
• Non-scratch
• Reduce breakages
• Improved safety

Teflon Information

Teflon, also known as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), is a synthetic fluoropolymer with a wide range of applications due to its unique properties. Key specifications include high temperature resistance, excellent chemical resistance, low friction, and non-stick characteristics.

Borosilicate Glassware Information

Prism Research Glass makes our glassware of Borosilicate Glassware often referred to as Pyrex. Borosilicate glassware is made from a blend of silica and boron trioxide. It is the standard for laboratory use because of its chemical resistance to various chemicals. This resistance makes it suitable for diverse laboratory applications. It is highly resistant to chemical attack by most substances, including water, acids, and organic solvents.

Borosilicate has a low coefficient of thermal expansion which means it can withstand rapid temperature changes. It can typically handle temperature ranges between -80°C (-112°F) and 500°C (930°F) without cracking and typically has a melting point of around 1650°C (3000°F).
