Connecting Column Clamps to the NGC Instrument
The NGC instrument has indented metallic strips on both the right and left sides on
which to mount column clamps, air sensors, and the fittings tightener. The column
clamps can be placed at any position on the strips. The column clamps are
adjustable and can accept a variety of column sizes up to 35 mm in diameter.
Tip: For long columns use two column clamps to keep the columns from
tipping.
Caution: Do not overtighten the clamps. Glass columns can shatter if the
clamps are overtightened.
