About This Product
This clamp secures beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, test tubes, boiling flasks and burettes to a frame or other apparatus. The adjusting screw lets the user set the pressure on glass objects precisely, which helps to avoid breakage. The cork lining means the prongs are not recommended for placing in direct heat.
