Product description

🔍 Definition

A volumetric flask is a flat-bottomed, pear-shaped flask with a long neck and a single graduation mark etched on the neck to indicate a precise volume (e.g., 100 mL, 250 mL, 1 L). When made of borosilicate glass, it becomes resistant to heat and chemicals.


🔬 Features of a Borosilicate Volumetric Flask

Feature Description
Material Made from borosilicate glass (e.g., Pyrex, Duran) known for thermal shock resistance and chemical durability.
Graduation Mark A single, narrow calibration line on the neck that shows the exact volume when liquid reaches that line.
Stopper/Cap Often comes with a ground glass or plastic stopper to prevent evaporation or contamination.
Shape Bulbous bottom with a long, narrow neck for precision. The shape helps in accurate reading of the meniscus.
Accuracy Class Available in Class A (high precision) and Class B (general use) according to ISO or ASTM standards.
Thermal Resistance Can withstand heating and autoclaving without breaking or warping.
Volume Ranges Available in volumes like 25 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1000 mL, etc.
Uses Mainly for preparing accurate standard solutions, diluting samples, and measuring exact volumes.

Advantages of Borosilicate Glass

  • Resistant to thermal stress (can handle heating and cooling)

  • Non-reactive with most chemicals

  • Durable and long-lasting

  • Clear visibility for reading meniscus and contents


🧪 Typical Use in Lab

  1. Add solute to the flask.

  2. Add solvent partway and swirl to dissolve.

  3. Fill up to the graduation mark.

  4. Stopper and mix thoroughly by inversion.
