Boiling Flask, Long Narrow Neck, Round Bottom/flat bottom

A boiling flask is a laboratory glassware with a long narrow neck and a round or flat bottom. It is commonly used for heating liquids and conducting reactions. The long neck helps to prevent splashing during boiling, and the round or flat bottom provides stability when placed on a heat source.

Description

  • Flat Bottom Flask
A flat bottom flask is a glass flask that is used in the laboratory for holding chemicals (reagent flasks) whose bottom is flat and can thus be conveniently placed on the table or in a cabinet. Flat-bottom flasks are commonly used in distillation, boiling, and other heating applications that require a stable base.
  • Round bottom flask
Round-bottom flasks are types of flasks having spherical bottoms used as laboratory glassware, mostly for chemical or biochemical work. They are typically made of glass for chemical inertness; and in modern days, they are usually made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass.
