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. Teachers use it to purify water or separate a liquid from dissolved solids. The set is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors.
Specifications
The set is built around a 250 ml distillation flask with a side arm, closed by a holed rubber stopper that carries a 0–100 °C thermometer. Vapour passes into a 300 mm straight (Liebig) condenser held on two metal-based stands with support rods, 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.
- Teacher-training labs: safe assembly of flask, condenser and receiver.
Standard Scope of Supply
One set comprises two 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the heating mesh a safety concern?
The original specification lists the 150 x 150 mm mesh as asbestos. Asbestos fibres are a health hazard if the mesh is damaged, so check your institution's rules and ask us to confirm the mesh type on your quotation.
Who supplies the Apparatus for Distilling Liquids?
Science Lab Supplies, based in Ambala, India, supplies this set to schools, colleges and training institutes, and quotes distributors and tender contractors for larger 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.
