Retort Stand Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Retort Stand (Product Code: SLE/CH/51) is the basic support stand of the chemistry bench: a cast iron rectangular base, finished in stove hammertone paint, carrying a 12.5 mm diameter chrome-plated M.S. rod. One end of the rod is half round and the other is machine threaded, fixing into the hole in the base with a washer and hexagonal nut. Schools, colleges and industrial training labs use it to hold clamps, rings and bosses for titration, filtration, heating and distillation. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and offered in several base and rod sizes for any retort stand lab requirement in India.

Typical Use

With a boss head and clamp, the stand holds a burette for titration, a flask over a burner, or a condenser during distillation; with a retort ring and wire gauze it becomes a heating support or a funnel holder for filtration. The shorter rods suit single-clamp jobs at a student bench, while the longer rods and larger bases are better for tall assemblies such as a distillation set-up where the flask, still head and condenser are clamped at different heights.

For stability, arrange the apparatus so its weight sits over the base rather than beyond it, and turn the base so the long side lies under the load. Check that the nut under the base is tight before loading the rod, and wipe spills off the painted base promptly. A class set of stands with matching clamps and bosses, the standard lab stand, clamp and boss head arrangement found across India, makes practical sessions quicker to set up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which base and rod sizes are available?
Five combinations, from a 175 x 125 mm base with a 500 mm rod up to a 300 x 150 mm base with a 750 mm rod, as listed in the size table.

What diameter is the rod?
The rod is 12.5 mm in diameter. Check that your boss heads and clamps open wide enough for this size.

How is the rod fixed to the base?
The machine-threaded end passes into the hole in the cast iron base and is secured with a washer and hexagonal nut, so the rod can be removed for compact storage.

What does the smallest base weigh?
The weight for the 175 x 125 mm base is not confirmed on this page, so please ask through our contact page if it matters for your application. Approximate weights for the other sizes are given in the table.

Which size should a school choose?
Smaller bases with 500 mm or 600 mm rods suit everyday student work; the 750 mm rod with a larger base is the better choice for distillation or other tall assemblies.

Are clamps and boss heads included?
No, the stand is described as a base and rod. Add the clamps, bosses and rings you need to the same enquiry.
