Neutral Oil and Loss Columns
Apparatus for the determination of total neutral oil of natural fats and oils consisting of triglycerides and unsaponifiable matter. Unique design of the flask allows the transfer of the weighed sample directly onto the column. Free fatty acids and miscellaneous non-fat substances are removed by passing the sample through a column of activated alumina. Losses are then calculated. Supplied complete, as shown. Stopcocks have PTFE plugs and the column has a coarse porosity fritted disc. Joints are Standard Taper 19/22 except for the extension tube which is Standard Taper 7/25.
