Apparatus for Distilling Liquids
Product Code : SCL-CL-11448
Apparatus for Distilling Liquids (SKU SCL-CL-11448) is a complete simple-distillation set: a liquid is boiled in a side-arm flask, its vapour is cooled in a Liebig condenser and the distillate is collected in a beaker. It can be used to purify water or to separate a liquid from dissolved solids. Each set leaves Ambala, India, through Science Lab Supplies, which quotes it for school laboratories, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
Each part of this simple-distillation set has its own row in the table below. In short, a 250 ml side-arm flask closed by a holed rubber stopper with a 0–100 °C thermometer feeds a 300 mm Liebig condenser, both held on two tripod stands, and the distillate runs into a 250 ml beaker.

Applications and Experiments for the Apparatus for Distilling Liquids
This distillation set shows how a mixture is separated by boiling and condensation, and how the temperature stays steady while a pure liquid distils over. It supports separation-of-mixtures lessons in secondary school and the purification topics met in Class 11 and B.Sc. chemistry practicals.
- NCERT Class 6 and Class 9 science: obtaining pure water from salt water by distillation.
- Class 11 chemistry: distillation as a way to purify organic liquids.
- B.Sc. practicals: recording the steady boiling temperature of a liquid during distillation, with the flask heated by a Beck Bunsen burner under the tripod.
- Teacher-training labs: safe assembly of flask, condenser and receiver.
The set makes small volumes for a lesson; for a steady supply of distilled water to the whole laboratory, the electrically heated Distiller for Distilled Water is a separate item rated at 1–2 litres per hour.
Standard Scope of Supply
One set comprises two tripod stands with metal bases and rods, the 250 ml side-arm flask with holed rubber stopper, the 300 mm Liebig condenser, a 200 mm metal support piece, a 250 ml beaker, a 150 x 150 mm mesh, a 0–100 °C thermometer, 6 mm rubber tubing and two metal holders.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
If you are sourcing laboratory distillation apparatus in India, quotations can cover one set or enough for a whole class. Each quotation shows the packing, the delivery time and the price for the quantity requested, and spare condensers, flasks or thermometers can be listed on it as separate lines.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). For figures on your distillation benches, post the quantity on the contact page, gather the sets in the enquiry cart, or turn to the lab tender page when the order is a formal bid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the heating mesh a safety concern?
The 150 x 150 mm mesh in this set is an asbestos mesh, and asbestos fibres are a health hazard if it is damaged. Check your institution's rules; a Ceramic Mesh with a ceramic centre can be quoted as an alternative.
Who supplies the Apparatus for Distilling Liquids?
The set is sourced and dispatched by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India. Schools, colleges and training institutes can buy single sets, while distributors and tender contractors receive quotations matched to their quantities.
Can the thermometer be used for liquids boiling above 100 °C?
No. The thermometer reads 0–100 °C, so it suits water and lower-boiling liquids. For higher-boiling liquids, request a wider-range thermometer on the same quotation.
