Separating Funnel

Product Code : SCL-LF-11972

Separating Funnel (SKU SCL-LF-11972), also called a separator, is a 250 mL spherical glass funnel with a tap and a frosted stopper, used to separate two immiscible liquids and to carry out liquid-liquid extraction. It suits school science classes, college chemistry practicals and routine laboratory work. Science Lab Supplies supplies this funnel from Ambala, India, quoting schools, colleges, research labs, tender contractors and distributors directly.

Specifications

The funnel has a clear, spherical glass body holding 250 mL, a tap near the stem for controlled draining of the lower layer, and a frosted stopper at the top. The glass is described as chemical resistant and heat resistant, and its clarity makes the boundary between layers easy to watch.

Applications and Experiments for the Separating Funnel

Two liquids that do not mix settle into layers by density; opening the tap lets the lower layer run out while the upper one stays behind. That makes this funnel a basic item of school chemistry lab equipment in India and a routine tool for extraction work in colleges.

• Class 9 science: separating immiscible liquids such as kerosene and water or oil and water.
• Class 11–12 and B.Sc. chemistry: solvent extraction and washing of organic products.
• Sample preparation in teaching and research labs where one liquid phase must be isolated.

Close the tap before filling, vent carefully after shaking, and support the funnel in a ring or holder while the layers settle. Wear eye protection and never use cracked glassware.

Standard Scope of Supply

One 250 mL spherical glass separating funnel is supplied with its integrated tap and one frosted stopper. A stand, ring or separatory funnel holder is not part of the item and can be quoted separately if your bench does not already have one.
