Product Description
A condenser that runs dry can ruin a reflux or distillation in minutes. This simple flowmeter gives a visible, at-a-glance check that cooling water is moving, so you can spot a pinched hose or failed supply from across the lab before it becomes a problem.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 626250-0000: KONTES FLOW-WATCHMAN Flowmeter. The body is molded from clear polycarbonate with an inert nylon indicator ball that rises with flow. It responds to water flows from about 100 mL per minute, enough for small cold-finger condensers, up to more than 1 liter per minute. The lightweight unit works in any position, fits 1/4 inch ID tubing and needs no support. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
