Usbeck Teclub burner, air regulation
The Usbeck Teclub burner with air regulation is a high-quality laboratory burner that is particularly suitable for professional applications in chemistry laboratories, training centres and research facilities. It impresses with its precisely adjustable air supply, allowing the flame intensity to be precisely regulated. Compared to other appliances on the market, this burner scores points for its consistent results, robust design and reliable combustion performance with both natural gas and propane gas.
Performance features and design
This Teclub burner is characterised by its conically widened burner tube at the bottom, which allows air to circulate from below. Continuous fine adjustment is made via a threaded regulating disc, which allows both precise control of the flame height and the optimum supply of oxygen. This means that the flame can be set to either oxidising or reducing, which is of great importance for many laboratory applications.
The robust design with a weight of 245 g and a height of 155 mm, which ensures safe working and a stable stand, is particularly noteworthy. For even more safety, an additional adhesive foot can be purchased for an extra charge, which makes the torch more slip-resistant and prevents unwanted movements on smooth work surfaces.
Thanks to the possibility of using both natural gas and propane gas, this laboratory burner is very versatile. Temperatures of around 1550 °C are achieved with natural gas and around 1560 °C with propane gas. This provides sufficient heat to heat, melt or sterilise various samples.
Important technical data (selection)
- Maximum working temperature: 1550 °C (natural gas) / 1560 °C (propane gas)
- Gas consumption: 115 l/h (natural gas) / 65 l/h (propane gas)
- Burner load: 1.5 kW (natural gas) / 1.3 kW (propane gas)
- Height: 155 mm
- Tube diameter: 14 mm
- Head diameter: 17 mm
- Weight: 245 g
The conical burner base ensures a stable air flow, while the regulating disc is responsible for an even and finely adjustable oxygen supply. Thanks to this design, homogeneous flame formation is supported, which is an advantage for sensitive work such as heating reactive substances or high-quality glass processing.
Certifications and standards
Although this burner does not have DIN certification, it still fulfils the basic safety requirements for use in laboratory environments. It is made of high-quality materials and enables safe handling with constant burning power. For professionals who also value CE labelling or other certificates, it is advisable to check the latest information directly with the manufacturer.
Concrete application examples
- Melting metals with comparatively low melting points, such as tin or lead
- Sterilisation of laboratory utensils and sample containers to avoid contamination
- Heating organic substances for distillation or drying processes
- Carrying out flame samples in the qualitative analysis of inorganic salts
The flexible use of natural gas or propane gas makes the burner particularly suitable for laboratories in which different fuels are used. The precise air regulation also allows the flame pattern to be precisely adapted to the respective process.
FAQs
How do I set up the air supply optimally?
Adjust the regulating disc in small steps and observe the size and colour of the flame. A bluish, roaring flame indicates a high oxygen supply and is ideal for many laboratory applications.
Do I need special accessories?
An adhesive base is available at an extra charge and can provide additional support for smooth or uneven surfaces. Otherwise, all you need is a suitable gas source (natural gas connection or propane cylinder).
How do I go about changing the fuel source?
Close the old gas source and wait briefly until the appliance has cooled down. Then connect the new gas pipe and readjust the air supply to achieve the optimum flame.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
With natural gas, the temperature is around 1550 °C, while up to 1560 °C can be reached with propane gas.
Conclusion
Thanks to infinitely variable air regulation and solid workmanship, this laboratory burner is a reliable solution when it comes to versatile and precise heating tasks. The option to use both natural gas and propane gas makes it particularly flexible. The robust design, adjustable flame height and the option to add additional safety components emphasise the professional character of the appliance and provide professionals in laboratory environments with a durable, powerful and versatile working basis.
