A fractionating column is described together with its ancillary equipment for operation at high vacuum (0·01–2·5 mm. of mercury). At atmospheric pressure the column is equivalent to 16‐6 theoretical plates, and under vacuum conditions at a boil‐up rate of it operates with a total pressure drop of only 0·04 mm.
