Steam Distillation Heads

A steam distillation head is a specialized glass apparatus used in steam distillation setups to separate temperature-sensitive or volatile compounds. It channels steam into the boiling flask and guides the resulting vapors toward the condenser. Designed for precise control and efficient operation, it is essential in both analytical and preparative organic chemistry.

Specifications
