Porcelain Pestle with Mortar

Product Code : SCL-CL-11936

Porcelain Pestle with Mortar (SKU SCL-CL-11936) is a classic laboratory-grade grinding set made from high-density white porcelain, with a 100 mm mortar. It is used to crush crystals, grind solids into fine powder and mix small quantities of materials before weighing, dissolving or heating. Chemistry, biology and pharmacy practical classes in schools and colleges rely on it. Supply to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors is handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India.

Specifications

The mortar is a deep, thick-walled porcelain bowl, 100 mm in diameter, with a wide mouth and an integrated pouring spout on the rim for controlled transfer of powders or liquids. The pestle has a smoothly glazed handle for grip and an unglazed, textured head that provides grinding friction.

Applications and Experiments for the Porcelain Pestle with Mortar

The set reduces lumps and crystals to a fine, even powder so that solids dissolve, react or mix more quickly. Porcelain is hard and resists most laboratory chemicals, so the same mortar serves salt analysis, sample preparation and plant tissue work in school and college practicals.

• Class 11–12 chemistry: powdering salts before qualitative salt analysis.
• School science: showing that powdered solids dissolve and react faster than lumps.
• Biology practicals: grinding leaves to extract pigments for chromatography.
• Pharmacy and B.Sc. labs: trituration and mixing of small powder quantities.

Grind with a circular pressing motion rather than hammering, and clean the unglazed surfaces thoroughly between samples so traces of one substance do not contaminate the next.

Standard Scope of Supply

Each unit is one 100 mm white porcelain mortar with its matching porcelain pestle. No chemicals, spatulas or other accessories are included in the listing; these can be quoted separately and added to the same order if required.

What size is this mortar?
The mortar has a diameter of 100 mm with a deep, thick-walled bowl, which suits grinding the small quantities of solids used in school and college practicals.

Why is the pestle head unglazed?
The rounded grinding head is left unglazed and textured to create the friction needed to crush substances, while the upper handle is glazed smooth for a comfortable grip.
