Hempel distillation columns supplied by LabChoice Australia provide reliable vapor liquid contact for fractional distillation, solvent purification and separation of components with moderate to high boiling point differences. Manufactured from premium BORO 3.3 borosilicate glass that complies with ISO 3585 and ASTM E438 Type 1 Class A standards, these plain columns offer excellent thermal stability, chemical inertness and long term structural durability. Their straight, unobstructed internal design supports smooth vapor ascent and stable temperature gradients essential for predictable distillation performance.

Each Hempel column includes precision ground joints produced in accordance with ISO 383 and ASTM E676 specifications, ensuring full compatibility with boiling flasks, stillheads, condensers and modular distillation components. The plain internal surface provides low resistance to vapor flow and allows technicians to pack the column with suitable materials such as glass helices, Raschig rings or metal saddles when increased surface area is required. The high clarity BORO 3.3 construction provides excellent visibility of packing integrity, reflux distribution and condensation behaviour during operation.

Plain Hempel distillation columns are widely used in organic synthesis, solvent recovery, purification of reaction mixtures, separation of azeotropes, essential oil refinement, petrochemical analysis and academic research laboratories. Their simple, versatile architecture supports both unpacked and packed operation, making them suitable for teaching environments as well as advanced fractional distillation workflows. They are particularly useful for distillations requiring moderate efficiency without the complexity of structured or highly engineered column designs.

All Hempel distillation columns supplied by LabChoice Australia undergo ISO 9001 aligned quality control inspection. This includes dimensional accuracy verification, joint taper conformity assessment, internal bore smoothness evaluation, clarity inspection and thermal shock testing. Columns are fully validated to comply with ISO and ASTM borosilicate performance standards, and all interchangeable joints conform to  requirements. These rigorous checks ensure safe, consistent and reliable operation for laboratories performing fractional distillation.
