Blow Pipe
Product Code : LSK-DAS-10917
Blow Pipe (SKU LSK-DAS-10917) is a nickel-plated brass blowpipe with a curved end, used with a charcoal block. Blowing gently through it directs a fine, hot jet of flame onto a small sample resting in a cavity on the block, the classic charcoal block test of dry qualitative analysis. It suits Class 11–12 chemistry salt analysis, B.Sc. inorganic practicals and mineral testing, and also appears in larger dissecting kits. Science Lab Supplies arranges supply from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and resellers.
Specifications
The blowpipe's construction is set out point by point in the table below. To summarise, the tube is made of brass with a nickel-plated finish and ends in a curved tip that turns the air stream sideways into a flame, and it is intended for use with a charcoal block.

Applications and Experiments for the Blow Pipe
The blow pipe concentrates a flame onto a sample on a charcoal block, giving the high local heat needed for dry tests in inorganic analysis. Students can observe beads, incrustations and residues formed on the charcoal, which give preliminary clues to the metal ions in a salt or mineral.
- Class 11–12 chemistry (CBSE practical salt analysis): the charcoal block test on Blowpipe Carbon Blocks, using a flame from a Beck Bunsen burner.
- B.Sc. inorganic chemistry: preliminary dry tests before wet analysis of cations.
- Geology and mineralogy practicals: heating mineral fragments to observe residues and coatings.
- Moving the hot charcoal block safely after a test with Crucible Tongs.
Blow steadily and gently, keep hair and sleeves clear of the flame, and let the curved tip cool before it is handed on. Testing should be supervised.
Standard Scope of Supply
The blow pipe is supplied as a single nickel-plated brass tube with its curved end. Charcoal blocks, a burner or spirit lamp and tongs for the full dry-test setup can be listed on the same quotation, so a salt-analysis bench can be equipped in one order.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for pricing on one blow pipe or on a full set for each analysis bench in a chemistry or biology lab. Each Science Lab Supplies quotation records packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and carbon blocks or burners can be added to it.
Under its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Blow pipe enquiries can be lodged on the contact page or built up in the enquiry cart; for tenders, see the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the blow pipe used for?
It is used with a charcoal block: a small sample sits in a hollow on the block, and air blown through the pipe directs a hot, narrow flame onto it for the charcoal block test in dry qualitative analysis.
Why does it have a curved end?
The curved end turns the air stream sideways, so the jet can be aimed into a burner or lamp flame and pushed across onto the sample on the charcoal block while the user stays upright.
Who supplies the Blow Pipe?
Orders for this nickel-plated brass blow pipe go to Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, a biology lab equipment supplier in India that quotes for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors, with charcoal blocks available on the same order.
Why is a blow pipe found in some dissecting kits?
Larger dissecting sets, such as the Large Dissecting Set and the Dissection Kit, list a blow pipe among their instruments, so the same item can be bought separately to replace or add to a dissection kit for students.
