Borosilicate Flat Bottom Flask

Product Code : SCL-LG-12001

The Borosilicate Flat Bottom Flask is a laboratory glass vessel used for holding, mixing, heating, and handling compatible liquids during chemistry experiments and routine laboratory procedures. Its flat base allows the flask to stand independently on a level surface, making it suitable for schools, colleges, universities, research facilities, and teaching laboratories.

Product Description

The Borosilicate Flat Bottom Flask combines a stable flat base with a rounded flask body for routine laboratory handling. Unlike a round-bottom flask, it can stand upright without a separate supporting ring when placed on a suitable level surface.

The flask is intended for common laboratory procedures involving compatible liquids, including mixing, temporary holding, solution preparation, and suitable heating applications where the exact product specifications permit. It can be used alongside other laboratory flasks, laboratory glassware, chemistry laboratory equipment, and glassware beakers.

Key Features

• Borosilicate glass construction: Designed as laboratory glassware for handling compatible liquids and routine chemistry procedures.
• Flat-bottom design: Allows the flask to stand independently on a stable, level laboratory surface.
• Rounded flask body: Supports swirling and mixing during suitable laboratory procedures.
• Clear glass vessel: Enables visual observation of liquid contents and reactions.
• Versatile laboratory use: Suitable for holding, mixing, preparing, and handling compatible solutions.
• Educational and professional relevance: Appropriate for school, college, university, research, and institutional laboratories.
• Honest specification policy: No unverified capacity, dimensions, temperature limit, glass grade, tolerance, or certification is claimed.

Technical Specifications

What's Included in the Kit

No stopper, stand, clamp, heating device, chemicals, or additional laboratory accessories are stated as included.

Applications / Uses

• Holding compatible laboratory liquids and prepared solutions.
• Mixing liquids by controlled swirling.
• Supporting chemistry demonstrations and practical experiments.
• Temporary containment of compatible reagents during laboratory procedures.
• Preparing solutions where volumetric calibration is not required.
• Suitable heating procedures when permitted by the exact product specifications and laboratory protocol.

How to Use the Borosilicate Flat Bottom Flask

1. Inspect the flask for cracks, chips, scratches, or contamination before use.
2. Place it on a stable and level laboratory surface.
3. Confirm that the intended chemical or liquid is compatible with the glass.
4. Add the liquid carefully using a funnel, beaker, pipette, or another appropriate transfer device.
5. Swirl gently when mixing is required, avoiding excessive force or overfilling.
6. Use appropriate support, heat protection, and laboratory procedures whenever heating is involved.
7. Allow hot glassware to cool safely before washing or handling directly.

Safety note: Do not expose the flask to sudden temperature changes or unknown heating conditions. Confirm the exact glass grade, thermal limits, chemical compatibility, and laboratory procedure before demanding thermal use.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the flask with a method compatible with the substances previously handled.
• Inspect the glass for chips, cracks, scratches, or thermal damage before every reuse.
• Avoid sudden transitions between extreme hot and cold conditions.
• Store clean and dry where the flask is protected from accidental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a borosilicate flat bottom flask used for?

A borosilicate flat bottom flask is used for holding, mixing, preparing, and handling compatible liquids during chemistry experiments and routine laboratory procedures.

Why does the flask have a flat bottom?

The flat base allows the flask to stand upright independently on a stable, level surface. This distinguishes it from a round-bottom flask, which normally requires external support.

Can a borosilicate flat bottom flask be heated?

Borosilicate glassware is commonly used in laboratory procedures involving temperature changes, but the allowable heating conditions depend on the exact glass grade, flask design, wall thickness, and manufacturer specifications. Confirm these details before heating.

Is a flat bottom flask used for precise volume measurement?

No. A standard flat bottom flask is primarily a containment and reaction vessel rather than a calibrated volumetric measuring instrument.

What capacity is available?

The capacity for this exact product has not been verified. Buyers should specify the required nominal capacity before procurement.

What is the difference between a flat bottom flask and a round bottom flask?

A flat bottom flask can stand independently on a level surface. A round bottom flask has a curved base and generally requires a supporting ring, clamp, heating mantle, or other laboratory support.
