Blowpipe Nickel Plated Brass
Product Code : LSK-CL-10046
Blowpipe Nickel Plated Brass (SKU LSK-CL-10046) is a plated brass tube with a bent end, used to blow a narrow jet of air through a flame. The extra air improves fuel-air mixing and gives a small, intensely hot flame that can be aimed at tiny samples, which is why the blowpipe is a classic tool of dry qualitative analysis. Science Lab Supplies provides it from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The blowpipe is a brass pipe with a plated finish and a bent end that points the air jet sideways into a burner or lamp flame. The product name gives the plating as nickel, while the original listing mentions chrome plating, so the 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, usually 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 salt analysis.
- Class 12 chemistry: charcoal-cavity tests in inorganic salt analysis.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: oxidising and reducing flame tests.
- Mineralogy and geology labs: blowpipe tests on mineral fragments.
- Simple glass-working demonstrations that need a small, hot flame.
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, as described above. Carbon blocks, a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp and tongs are not included; they are listed as separate items and can share the quotation.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a laboratory blowpipe work?
You blow a steady stream of air through the pipe while its bent tip sits at the edge of a flame. The extra air mixes with the fuel and produces a small, very hot flame that can be aimed at a sample.
Is the blowpipe nickel or chrome plated?
The product is named nickel plated brass, while the original description mentions chrome plating. The finish supplied is confirmed on your quotation.
Who supplies the Blowpipe Nickel Plated Brass?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this blowpipe from Ambala, India, together with carbon blocks and burners for qualitative analysis work.
Is a burner included?
No. The blowpipe is supplied alone; a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp can be added to the same quotation.

A blowpipe is only useful with a flame source and a sample support. These four items make up a complete blowpipe and flame-test station and can be quoted with it.
- Blowpipe Carbon Blocks — compressed blocks that hold the sample.
- Adjustable Bunsen Gas Burner with Control Valve (Set of 2) — controllable gas flame.
- Brass Spirit Lamp 100ml — flame source where there is no gas supply.
- Cobalt Blue Glass (Flame Testing) — filter for flame colour tests.
