Our standalone heating mantle system (condenser mantle) is designed to wrap snugly around a glass tube of 24-35mm in outer diameter, with a coverage length of 14”.

The mantle is utilized to insulate and/or heat a tube to a specific temperature. The temperature is both set and controlled by a separate temperature controller (the LS-TCM-S or LS-TCM-1).

You can easily fasten the mantle to the glass tube by placing a thermocouple between the mantle and the glass (through the seam of the mantle). This will ensure that you get the proper temperature control.

Once the probe is placed properly, simply tighten the mantle using its several velcro straps. These straps will provide efficient and even heating across the condenser surface area.

Now you can heat the outside of your condenser tube, reaching high temperatures (up to 250°C) precisely and consistently, without the use of heating oil.

Not only will this product save you capital on a heating re-circulator and heating oil, but it will also be much cleaner and safer for laboratory use.
