Usbeck Teclub burner, DIN, needle valve, pilot flame, air regulation
This gas-operated burner model with integrated needle valve control and adjustable air supply is suitable for high-precision heating processes in laboratory environments. Thanks to its robust design in accordance with DIN 30665 and DIN-DVGW reg. no. NG-2211AN0133, this Teclub burner is of interest to users who value safety and reliability. Unlike many other burners on the market, it offers a controllable pilot flame and is not completely deactivated even when the gas tap is switched off. The principle of centralised laboratory shut-off therefore enables particularly reliable handling, as unintentional relighting or uncontrolled gas leaks are effectively prevented.
Versatile features for high work safety and efficiency
The compact burner is designed for natural gas or propane gas and achieves a flame temperature of up to 1530 °C. This is made possible, among other things, by the conical burner tube, which expands downwards and can be precisely adjusted using an air regulating disc. The needle valve also ensures that the gas supply can be conveniently regulated during different work phases. The integrated pilot flame contributes to work safety and efficiency, as constant restarting is minimised and yet a small flame remains for immediate restarting. This results in greater time savings in laboratory processes where a constant heat source is required.
Important technical key data at a glance:
- Certified in accordance with DIN 30665 and with DIN-DVGW reg. no. NG-2211AN0133
- Special air supply regulating disc for precise flame adjustment
- Output between 1.25 kW (natural gas) and 1.5 kW (propane gas)
- Gas consumption of 110 l/h (natural gas) or 65 l/h (propane gas)
- Compact design with a height of 155 mm and a total weight of 260 g
- Tube diameter 14 mm, head diameter 17 mm
- Conical design for optimum air intake
Thanks to its solid construction, the torch has a long service life. Weighing just 260 g, it remains portable, while the centre of gravity is designed in such a way that stability is not compromised. A possible extension, such as an adhesive base, is available on request and gives laboratory users additional options for stable use.
Concrete application examples for everyday laboratory work
Although the Teclubrenner is primarily used in chemistry and biology laboratories to heat test tubes, flasks and beakers, it also offers reliable services in other specialist areas:
- In microbiology: For quickly flaming metal loops and needles when inoculating cultures.
- In organic chemistry: For gentle heating of sensitive substances and for distilling small samples.
- In food analysis: For the sterilisation of various analysis tools or sample vessels.
- In materials research: For the targeted heating of metals or new types of ceramic materials up to a temperature of 1530 °C.
The precisely adjustable air supply gives the flame a reducing or oxidising character as required. This allows experiments to be ideally matched to specific chemical reactions. Users working with substances such as ethanol, acetone or sensitive protein solutions benefit from the controlled burner output to ensure even heat development.FAQs
How is the air supply regulated?
The air supply is controlled via a regulating disc. By turning this disc, the user adjusts the mixing ratio of air and gas, which enables precise control of the flame intensity.
Why does the pilot light continue to burn even though the needle valve is closed?
According to DIN 30665, there is no provision for switching off the gas flow completely at the burner itself. Therefore, a small flame remains. The main shut-off valve of the central gas supply in the laboratory must always be closed when no work is being carried out.
Is a conversion between natural gas and propane gas time-consuming?
The conversion only requires adjusting the gas supply and the corresponding technology, as the burner is designed for both types of gas. Precise information on the procedure is ideally taken from the manufacturer's instructions in the operating manual.
How safe is the burner during prolonged operation?
The model is designed for continuous operation and is highly heat-resistant thanks to its solid metal construction. Should safety concerns arise, it is advisable to discuss previously unfamiliar usage scenarios with the person responsible for the laboratory.
Conclusion
This torch combines maximum safety in accordance with DIN standards with precise control using a needle valve and air control disc. Users benefit from a lightweight yet stable design that is always ready for use with natural or propane gas. Thanks to the controlled gas flow, the pilot flame and the high flame temperature, the model is particularly suitable for laboratories with increased safety requirements and frequently changing trades. By ensuring a constant flame quality and being able to be precisely adjusted, it enables reliable and repeatable results in a wide range of applications.
