Conical Flask

Conical Flask – Borosilicate Erlenmeyer Laboratory Flask

The Conical Flask is a laboratory glassware vessel used for mixing, holding, heating, and preparing liquid solutions. Supplied by Elmo Agencies, a trusted scientific manufacturer in Ambala, the borosilicate conical flask is suitable for chemistry practicals, solution preparation, titration-related work, and routine laboratory applications.

It is also known as an Erlenmeyer flask and has a broad base, sloping sides, and a narrow neck. This shape allows liquids to be swirled with a lower risk of splashing compared with an open beaker, while the narrow mouth can also help reduce evaporation and contamination during handling.

The flask is available in different capacities and is designed with an appropriate wall-thickness distribution to provide a practical balance between strength, heat handling, and usability.

Construction & Design

• Borosilicate glass construction
• Narrow-mouth design
• Conical body with stable flat base
• Available in different capacities
• Graduated versions for approximate volume reference
• Low-form design with spout available as specified

Borosilicate glass is widely used for laboratory glassware because of its low thermal expansion and good resistance to thermal shock compared with ordinary soda-lime glass.

Graduated Conical Flask

A graduated conical flask includes markings that provide an approximate indication of liquid volume. These graduations are useful for routine laboratory work, but they should not be treated as a replacement for calibrated volumetric glassware when high-volume accuracy is required.

Applications

• Preparing chemical solutions
• Mixing and swirling liquids
• Heating suitable laboratory solutions
• Titration-related procedures
• Sample preparation
• Chemistry practicals
• Educational laboratory experiments
• General laboratory work

Key Features

• Borosilicate glass construction
• Narrow-mouth conical design
• Available in multiple capacities
• Equal or controlled wall-thickness distribution as specified
• Graduated options available
• Suitable for heating when used within appropriate glassware limits
• Stable base for laboratory work

Handling & Safety

Although borosilicate glass offers good thermal-shock resistance, it can still break if subjected to severe thermal gradients, impact, or improper handling. Inspect the flask for cracks or chips before use and use appropriate laboratory heating equipment and procedures.

When heating liquids, avoid sudden temperature changes and ensure the flask is supported securely.

Conclusion

The Conical Flask by Elmo Agencies is versatile borosilicate laboratory glassware suitable for mixing, solution preparation, heating, and chemistry practicals. Its narrow-mouth conical design, stable base, multiple capacity options, and available graduated configuration make it useful for schools, colleges, laboratories, and routine chemical work.
