Alcohol Lamp
Product Code : SCL-CL-11495
Alcohol Lamp (SKU SCL-CL-11495) is a 150 ml round glass spirit lamp with a PVC cap that gives a small, steady flame for heating test tubes and warming solutions where no gas supply is available. It suits school science rooms and junior college chemistry benches. From its base in Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies supplies the lamp to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors as part of its school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
The lamp is a round glass reservoir holding 150 ml of fuel, closed by a PVC cap between uses. Its specification notes a low linear coefficient of expansion and a high annealing point, which help the glass tolerate the warmth of the flame during routine classroom heating.

Applications and Experiments for the Alcohol Lamp
A spirit lamp provides gentle heat for experiments that need a small flame rather than a Bunsen burner. It is used in NCERT Class 6–10 science activities, in Class 11–12 chemistry practicals that need mild heating, and in biology rooms for warming slides and flaming inoculating loops.
- Class 6–8 science: heating water and observing changes of state.
- Class 9–10 science: evaporating a salt solution and heating substances in a test tube.
- Biology practicals: heat-fixing smears and flaming loops.
Fill the lamp only when it is cold and unlit, and put the flame out by fitting the cap. Alcohol is highly flammable and its flame is hard to see in daylight, so use the lamp under teacher supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Alcohol Lamp is supplied as a single unit as described above: the 150 ml round glass lamp with its PVC cap. Fuel is not included, so the laboratory fills it with its own spirit. Optional items such as stands or tripods are listed separately on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a single lamp or one for every bench in a school laboratory, and each states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name. Beakers, clamps and thermometers can be added to the same quotation, so one enquiry equips a complete heating station.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. To request figures, write through the contact page, add the lamp to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for institutional purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of this alcohol lamp?
It holds 150 ml of fuel in a round glass body. The PVC cap closes the lamp between uses, which helps limit evaporation of the spirit during storage.
Is fuel supplied with the lamp?
No. The lamp is supplied empty. Spirit lamps normally burn denatured spirit or ethanol, which should be stored away from flames and poured in only after the lamp has cooled.
Who supplies the Alcohol Lamp?
The lamp is quoted by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes and tender buyers, and it can share one quotation with the rest of your chemistry glassware.
Related Heating and Glassware Items
These four items from the Chemistry Lab range are used alongside a spirit lamp at a school heating station: something to hold the tube, vessels to warm liquids in and a way to read the temperature. Ordering them together keeps the whole bench set-up on a single quotation.
- Test Tube Clamp — holds a test tube safely over the flame.
- Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 100ml — for warming small volumes of liquid.
- Round Bottom Jars (Spherical Balloons) 100ml — round-bottom glass flask for heating liquids.
- Laboratory Thermometers — for reading temperature while heating.
