Applications and Experiments for the Porcelain Dish
The dish fits any task where a solvent has to be driven off to leave a solid behind: obtaining salt from brine, growing crystals from a saturated solution or concentrating a solution before further tests. It can sit on a tripod and gauze over a burner or on a water bath.
- Class 6–9 science: evaporating salt water to show separation of a dissolved solid, heated over a Laboratory Spirit Burner.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: preparing crystals of salts such as copper sulphate or potash alum from a solution cleared through a Paper Filter.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: concentrating solutions before crystallisation, stirring with Glass Rods.
- General lab work: drying small amounts of precipitate over a water bath.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Porcelain Dish is supplied as a single 150 ml dish as described above, in high-purity porcelain with its rim spout. A tripod stand, wire gauze, burner and crucible tongs can be added to the same quotation, along with any other heating accessories your bench needs.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Porcelain dishes can be quoted singly or in sets so that every student pair has one. Request a quotation for any quantity; it lists the packing, delivery time and price, and heating accessories or other chemistry lab equipment in India can go on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. A class set of dishes can be priced by writing in on the contact page or by building a list in the enquiry cart; formal tenders follow the steps on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of this porcelain dish?
It holds 150 ml. The shallow, wide shape spreads the liquid over a large surface so that evaporation is quicker than in a beaker of the same volume, and the spout helps when transferring the concentrate.
Can the dish be heated directly?
Yes, porcelain withstands high temperatures, so the dish can be heated on a tripod and gauze or over a water bath. Heat gradually, and use crucible tongs to move it while hot.
Who supplies the Porcelain Dish?
Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala-based supplier in India, can quote the dish on its own or as a class set and add tripods, gauzes and burners to one consignment.
What is the spout on the rim for?
The small spout lets you pour a concentrated solution or loosened solid out of the dish without spilling it down the side, which helps when recovering crystals or transferring a hot concentrate.
