Column Sections with Thermometer Branch

Column Sections with Thermometer Branch

Column Sections with Thermometer Branch are advanced modular sections of glass columns designed for precise temperature monitoring during distillation, extraction, and separation processes. Made from Borosilicate Glass 3.3, these sections provide chemical resistance, thermal stability, and full visibility of column internals and process behavior.

The integrated thermometer branch allows real-time monitoring without interrupting the process, ideal for laboratory, pilot plant, and industrial applications.

How They Work – Step-by-Step

1. Column sections are stacked to achieve the desired height.
2. Ground glass joints or flanged connections secure a leak-proof system.
3. Packing or internals are inserted inside the column.
4. Feed and vapor/liquid flow move through sections for efficient separation.
5. The thermometer branch allows accurate temperature readings without disassembly.
6. Sections can be disassembled for cleaning or maintenance while retaining the thermometer.
