Ball and socket quartz joints, also known as ground glass joints, are commonly used in scientific laboratories for connecting glassware components securely and creating flexible, yet airtight seals. These joints consist of a spherical (ball) end and a socket end, which fit together to form a tight connection.
The flexibility and versatility of ball and socket quartz joints make them valuable for constructing adjustable apparatus, facilitating complex setups, and enabling precise connections in various laboratory applications. They offer a reliable, leak-free, and flexible connection, contributing to the smooth execution of experiments and processes.
