Sedimentation Cone Racks
Sedimentation Cone Racks For Imhoff Cone Testing
Sedimentation cone racks are used to hold Imhoff cones and sedimentation funnels upright during settling tests, helping laboratories observe sediment volume, suspended matter and settleable solids in water, wastewater or process samples. The visible range includes rack holders for 2 or 4 Imhoff funnels, models with or without stopcock support, wooden sediment cone racks, acrylic cone racks and Bürkle Imhoff cone rack formats.
- Imhoff Cone Support: Holds Imhoff cones or sedimentation funnels in a stable vertical position during settling and observation.
- Capacity Options: Visible rack formats include holders for 2 or 4 funnels or sediment cones depending on sample throughput.
- Stopcock Compatibility: Behr Labor-Technik GSM models support Imhoff funnels with stopcocks, while GSO models suit funnels without stopcocks.
- Material Options: The range includes wooden, acrylic and laboratory rack formats to suit different bench setups and cleaning needs.
- Testing Applications: Suitable for wastewater, environmental, teaching, food, process water and routine laboratory sedimentation workflows.
How To Choose Sedimentation Cone Racks And Imhoff Stands
When selecting a sedimentation rack, confirm the cone or funnel type, stopcock requirement, number of samples, bench space and required material. Racks for 2 cones are suitable for smaller laboratories or paired sample checks, while 4-position racks help increase workflow capacity where multiple settling tests are performed at the same time.
- Cone Compatibility: Check whether the rack is intended for plastic Imhoff cones, glass funnels, sediment cones or stopcock-equipped funnels.
- Sample Throughput: Choose 2-position or 4-position racks based on the number of samples tested per run.
- Bench Stability: Select a rack design that keeps cones upright and reduces tipping risk during sedimentation periods.
- Cleaning Requirements: Consider acrylic, wooden or other rack materials based on laboratory cleaning processes and sample exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are sedimentation cone racks used for?
Sedimentation cone racks are used to hold Imhoff cones or sedimentation funnels upright while solids settle in liquid samples. They are commonly used in wastewater, environmental and laboratory testing.
What is the difference between a 2-position and 4-position rack?
A 2-position rack holds two cones or funnels, while a 4-position rack supports four samples at the same time. The right choice depends on sample throughput and bench space.
Do I need a rack with stopcock support?
Choose a rack with stopcock support if your Imhoff funnels include stopcocks. If your funnels do not use stopcocks, a standard rack holder may be suitable.
