Blowpipe Nickel Plated Brass
Product Code : LSK-CL-10046
Blowpipe Nickel Plated Brass (SKU LSK-CL-10046) is a plated brass pipe with a bent end, used to direct a stream of gas through a flame. The extra stream improves fuel-air mixing and gives an intensely hot flame that can be aimed at small samples, which is why the blowpipe is a classic tool of dry qualitative analysis. Science Lab Supplies handles supply of this blowpipe from Ambala, India, quoting schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors directly.
Specifications
Every specification of the bent-end brass blowpipe is set out in the table. In short, it is a plated brass pipe whose bent end points the gas stream into a burner or lamp flame, giving better fuel-air mixing and a very hot exit flame; the plating finish supplied is confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Brass Blowpipe
The blowpipe is used to point an oxidising or reducing flame at a small sample, typically on a charcoal block or a wire loop. Students watch for a metallic bead, a coloured coating or a change in the residue, and use these observations in the preliminary dry tests of inorganic salt analysis.
- Class 12 chemistry: charcoal-cavity tests in inorganic salt analysis.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: oxidising and reducing flame tests, using a gas burner or an Alcohol Lamp where no gas line is available.
- Mineralogy and geology labs: blowpipe tests on mineral fragments.
- Lifting hot residues and blocks with Crucible Tongs after each test.
The flame is intensely hot and the pipe near it warms up; keep the tip out of the burner, never inhale through the pipe, and supervise students throughout.
Standard Scope of Supply
The blowpipe is supplied as a single plated brass pipe with a bent end. Carbon blocks, a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp and tongs are not included; they are separate items and can share the quotation, so a complete blowpipe station for a salt-analysis bench is priced in one request.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A single blowpipe for the teacher's bench or one for every student station can be quoted; the quotation spells out packing, delivery time and price for the number you enter. If you are equipping a salt-analysis lab, the blocks, burners and filters can be priced in the same request.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. A short note on the contact page with your station count is enough to get a price, the enquiry cart keeps the blowpipe and its accessories on one list, and the lab tender page covers purchases made by tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a laboratory blowpipe work?
A steady stream of gas is sent through the pipe while its bent tip sits at the edge of a flame. The stream improves fuel-air mixing and produces an intensely hot flame that can be aimed precisely at a small sample.
Is the blowpipe nickel or chrome plated?
The product name gives nickel plating, and the item is also described with chrome plating. The finish actually supplied is stated on your quotation, so ask for the one your specification requires.
Who supplies the Blowpipe Nickel Plated Brass?
This blowpipe is supplied, not manufactured, by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Carbon blocks, burners and filters for qualitative analysis can be quoted with it on the same document.
Is a burner included?
No. The blowpipe is supplied alone; a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp, together with carbon blocks and tongs, can be added to the same quotation to complete the dry-test station.
