Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LK INDUSTRIES from 3G Electric.
What are the dimensions and capacity of LK Industries glass centrifuge tubes?
LK Industries glass centrifuge tubes are available with a 100 mL capacity. They come in two body diameters: 14 mm and 18 mm. Overall heights are 152.4 mm for the 18 mm diameter tubes and 203.2 mm for the 14 mm diameter tubes. All tubes feature a conical bottom, colorless glass construction, graduated markings, and a rubber closure. These dimensions allow the tubes to fit standard centrifuge rotors that accept 100 mL conical tubes. The graduated markings enable direct volume reading during sample processing.
What voltage options are available for LK Industries petrochemical centrifuges?
LK Industries petrochemical centrifuges are available with different voltage inputs. The portable model TRANS-9100/4/115 operates on 115V AC and also supports 12V DC, making it suitable for field or vehicle-based use. Benchtop models LB14-B120C and LB14-C120C operate on 120V AC. Buyers should confirm their facility's power supply matches the centrifuge's voltage requirement. The 12V DC option on the portable unit provides flexibility for remote locations where AC power is not available.
What is the tube capacity of LK Industries benchtop centrifuges?
LK Industries benchtop petrochemical centrifuges, including the LB14-B120C and LB14-C120C, accommodate 4 x 100 mL conical tubes. This capacity allows processing of four samples simultaneously. The units are designed for use with conical tubes, which are available separately as LK Industries glass centrifuge tubes. The 4 x 100 mL format is common in petrochemical testing and laboratory separation tasks. The centrifuges include programmable variable speed control and a digital display for setting and monitoring run parameters.
What are the weight and portability characteristics of LK Industries centrifuges?
The LK Industries TRANS-9100/4/115 portable petrochemical centrifuge weighs 65 lb, while the benchtop models LB14-B120C and LB14-C120C weigh 110 lb each. The portable unit is designed for transport and field use, with a 12V DC power option in addition to 115V AC. The benchtop models are intended for stationary laboratory or plant settings. Weight and power requirements should be considered when selecting a location and support surface for the centrifuge.
What types of tubes are compatible with LK Industries petrochemical centrifuges?
LK Industries petrochemical centrifuges are designed for use with 100 mL tubes. The portable TRANS-9100/4/115 accepts D-style tubes, while benchtop models LB14-B120C and LB14-C120C accommodate conical tubes. LK Industries glass centrifuge tubes with conical bottoms and 100 mL capacity are available in 14 mm and 18 mm body diameters. Users should verify that the tube style and dimensions match the centrifuge rotor requirements. The tubes include rubber closures and graduated markings for volume measurement.
What features do LK Industries centrifuges offer for controlled operation?
LK Industries petrochemical centrifuges include a digital display, variable speed control, and programmable settings. These features allow users to set and reproduce specific run parameters. The digital display provides readout of speed and other operational data. Variable speed control enables adjustment for different sample types and separation requirements. Programmable operation supports consistent processing across multiple runs. The portable model TRANS-9100/4/115 and benchtop models LB14-B120C and LB14-C120C all include these features.
