The 72 Extra Long Standard Rod has suitable sturdiness for most general laboratory applications. Made of steel, it has a 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) diameter and is 24.0 in. (610 mm) tall with a nylon gear rack set into the rod for rack-and-pinion control over component elevation. Steel provides much greater dynamic rigidity than aluminum. This means the 72 rod has a high resonant frequency and correspondingly low vibration amplitude required for optical laboratory use. Also, with its inherently greater stiffness and strength, it supports larger loads with greater stability. Steel construction has other advantages such as half the thermal expansion coefficient of aluminum and a higher heat capacity so thermal stability is enhanced.
