A tube holder assembly includes a base plate, an attachment plate, and an optional securing element. The base plate may include guides into which protrusions of the attachment plate slide to alter the positioning apparatus from an open position to a closed position. The base plate also includes receivers to receive tubular members, which have their movement restrained by the receivers and the securing elements in the closed position. The tube holder assembly may also include a latch to help maintain the closed position during operation.

An apparatuses used for the safe dispensation of compressed liquid/gas butane from a compressed liquid/gas butane can for use in mixing this liquid/gas with parts of a marijuana plant within a glass tube of the apparatus to thereby remove the THC from the marijuana plant and disposing it and the residual liquid/gasses into a capture member for further processing.

Support apparatus for a chemical reactor vessel comprises a mounting system comprising a collar device (221) arranged for closure around the chemical reactor vessel, and a mounting unit (200) having a member (212) with a hollow, semi-cylindrical receiving portion arranged to receive and support the chemical reactor vessel when fitted with the collar device. The collar device has three radially outwardly extending lugs (223A, 223B, 223C). An upper surface of the member (212) is provided with recesses for receiving and supporting lugs 223A and 223C. A slot in the hollow, semi-cylindrical receiving portion is arranged to receive and support the lug (223B). A chemical reactor vessel fitted with the collar device may be mounted on the apparatus without the need for manual handling of the apparatus, allowing two hands to be used for lifting and mounting the vessel. The lugs (223A, 223B, 223C), recesses and slot cooperate to prevent rotation of the vessel when mounted on the apparatus.

A heating hood according to the disclosure comprises a spherically formed heat transfer region, in particular for receiving at least partially spherical objects; a frame device, wherein position of the heat transfer region is at least partially predefined by the frame device; and a heating device arranged between the heat transfer region and the frame device. A slit for guiding air is formed at least sectionally between the frame device and the heating device, wherein air can be introduced into the slit on a first side of the frame device, and wherein the introduced air can be diverted from the slit on another side, which is spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the frame device.

The present invention is in relation to a method and its apparatus, by means of which HCl generation formed from hydrolysis reactions or thermal decomposition of chloride salts is continuously monitored. Its application is in oil refining or in any other area where chloride salts are heated to temperatures high enough to cause hydrolysis reactions or thermal decomposition. The invention allows for a much more sophisticated and precise record of the thermal events that occur as a function of temperature. It also allows the behavior of chloride salts subjected to these conditions to be evaluated, both in model systems and in industrial saline solutions, with respect to the respective content, composition, or presence of components in the oil phase, such as carboxylic (naphthenic acids) or nitrogenous (ammonia or amines) acids.

A modular stand apparatus offers safe and effective setup of laboratory experiments. The apparatus allows a user to couple vertical rods to a first plate. A second plate, parallel to the first plate and vertically translating up and down the vertical rods, permits the user of any height to utilize the apparatus and the placement of an extraneous rigging such as jack, scale, etc. A plurality of horizontal rods including hypotenuse and adjacent rods detachably couples with the vertical rods and permits the placement of extraneous rigging. The horizontal rods replace monkey bars in conventional systems so that the user does not have to lean or stretch hands/arms inside a fume hood, thus eliminating potential unsafe operations and/or physical injuries. Due to the use of a larger and more stable surface of the second plate over the extraneous rigging, the apparatus eliminates possible toppling over and/or system collapsing.
