A boss head, also known as a clamp holder or clamp boss, is a device used in laboratory setups to hold and secure various pieces of equipment. It is an essential component of a laboratory clamp system.
The boss head consists of a metal rod with a threaded end and a screw mechanism. The threaded end of the rod allows it to be attached to a laboratory support stand or rod. The screw mechanism, typically in the form of a wing nut or knurled knob, is used to tighten or loosen the grip of the boss head.
The main function of a boss head is to hold other apparatus, such as clamps, holders, or support rods, firmly in place. The adjustable nature of the boss head allows for precise positioning and alignment of the equipment. It can secure items such as burettes, test tube clamps, thermometer clamps, or other similar apparatus that need to be attached to a support stand.
To use a boss head, you typically position the equipment you want to hold onto the support stand or rod. Then, the boss head is positioned on the rod or stand at the desired height and location. The screw mechanism is tightened to securely grip the equipment and prevent it from moving or slipping during experiments or procedures.
Boss heads are made of sturdy materials like metal or aluminum to provide strength and stability. They are commonly found in chemistry, biology, and physics laboratories, where they play a crucial role in setting up apparatus for experiments or holding equipment in a fixed position.
Boss Head are made of Aluminium Alloy Die Casting, Nicely Powder Coated with Mild Steel Screw to hold up to 16mm dia. circles.
