Porcelain Capsule
Product Code : SCL-CL-11564
Porcelain Capsule (SKU SCL-CL-11564) is a small white porcelain dish of 50 ml capacity, often called an evaporating capsule or basin, in which solutions are evaporated and small quantities of solids are heated. Students in school and college chemistry laboratories use it for crystallisation and residue tests. Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India, supplies it to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The capsule is made of white, chemical-resistant porcelain and holds 50 ml. Porcelain tolerates the direct heat and the acids or salts met in routine laboratory evaporations, and the white surface makes coloured residues and crystals easy to see.

Applications and Experiments for the Porcelain Capsule
The capsule is used to drive off water or another solvent from a solution and recover the dissolved solid. Heated on a gauze or water bath, it lets students see crystals form and residues appear, which is central to separation and salt-preparation work in school and undergraduate chemistry.
- Class 6–9 science: evaporating salt water to recover common salt.
- Class 9 science: separating a mixture by evaporation and crystallisation.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: concentrating solutions to prepare crystals of inorganic salts.
- B.Sc. practicals: evaporating filtrates to dryness before residue tests.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Porcelain Capsule is supplied as a single 50 ml white porcelain dish as described above. Tripod stands, gauzes and water baths used to heat it are separate items; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Porcelain ware is usually ordered in sets, but one capsule or a stock for the whole year can be quoted. Each quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and it can include other items from our range as a laboratory glassware supplier in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a porcelain capsule used for?
It is used to evaporate solutions and heat small amounts of solids, so students can recover salts and observe crystals or residues.
What is its capacity?
The capsule holds 50 ml, a practical size for evaporating the small solution volumes used in school and college experiments.
Who supplies the Porcelain Capsule?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this capsule from Ambala, India, quoting both small school orders and bulk requirements from distributors and tender contractors.
How should it be heated?
Heat it gradually on a gauze, pipeclay triangle or water bath rather than plunging it into a hot flame, and let it cool before washing to reduce the risk of cracking.
Related Porcelain and Heating Items
Evaporation needs a dish, a support and a heat source. The items below include another porcelain dish and the stands, triangles and gauzes that hold a capsule safely over a flame, so the whole evaporation set-up can be ordered at once.
- Porcelain Dish — another porcelain dish listing.
- Triangles for Placing Pots — porcelain support used over a flame.
- Wire Gauze — spreads heat under the capsule.
- Tripod Stand — holds the gauze or triangle above the burner.
