Round Bottom Flask

Round Bottom Flask – Borosilicate Glass Laboratory Flask

The Round Bottom Flask is laboratory glassware designed for heating, boiling, mixing, and carrying out chemical reactions involving liquids. Supplied by Elmo Agencies, a scientific manufacturer in Ambala, this borosilicate glass flask is suitable for chemistry laboratories, educational practicals, and routine laboratory applications.

Round Bottom Flask has a spherical body that helps distribute heat more evenly around the vessel compared with many flat-bottomed containers. This makes it particularly useful for heating liquids and conducting chemical reactions, especially when used with an appropriate heating setup and support.

The flask is made from borosilicate glass with uniform wall thickness distribution, helping provide consistent heating characteristics during suitable laboratory applications.

Key Features

• Borosilicate glass construction
• Uniform wall thickness distribution
• Suitable for heating liquids
• Strong and sturdy rim
• Durable matt-finished enamelled marking area
• White printed graduations/markings as specified
• Available in different sizes

Borosilicate Glass Construction

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. These properties make it suitable for laboratory heating applications when the glassware is used within its specified limits.

The uniform wall thickness of the flask helps provide consistent heat distribution during laboratory heating.

Marking Area

The flask features a durable matt-finished enamelled area designed for marking or identification. The white printed markings provide clear visibility against the glass surface and can assist with laboratory identification and handling.

Applications

• Heating liquids
• Chemical reaction setups
• Distillation assemblies
• Reflux experiments
• Mixing and preparation of solutions
• Organic chemistry practicals
• Educational laboratory demonstrations

Handling and Safety

A round bottom flask should normally be supported using a suitable clamp or flask holder because its rounded base cannot stand independently on a flat surface.

When heating, use an appropriate heating source and avoid sudden temperature changes that could cause thermal stress. Always inspect the flask for cracks, chips, or other damage before use.

Conclusion

The Round Bottom Flask by Elmo Agencies is practical borosilicate glass laboratory equipment designed for heating liquids, chemical reactions, distillation, and reflux applications. Its uniform wall thickness, sturdy rim, and durable matt-finished marking area make it suitable for chemistry laboratories and educational practical work.
