Crucible
CRUCIBLE TONGS
-a re scissor-like tools, but instead of having
two blades, these tools are replaced with two
pincers or pieces of metals that concave
together, which allow the users to grasp a hot
crucible, flasks, evaporating dishes, or even
small beakers. They are made of durable
metals, allowed them to endure a very hot
temperature when touching with the hot
objects.
STAND AND RING CLAMP
-is an item of laboratory equipment which
comprises a conjoined metal ring and radially-
extending rod. In some cases, the rod
terminates in a screw clamp for attachment to a
retort stand or other support; in others, the rod
may be attached to a stand by means of a
laboratory clamp holder. Iron rings are
commonly used in chemistry laboratories for
supporting apparatus above the work surface,
CLAY TRIANGLE
- is a piece of laboratory equipment used in the
process of heating subtances by bunsen burner
(e.g. to support a crucible when its being
heated).
FORCEPS
- an instrument, as pincers or tongs, for seizing and
holding objects, as in surgical operations
WIRE GAUZE
- is a sheet of thin metal that has net-like patterns or a
wire mesh. Wire gauze is placed on the support ring
that is attached to the retort stand between the Bunsen
burner and the glassware to support the beakers,
flasks, or other glassware during heating. Wire gauze is
an important piece of supporting equipment in a
laboratory as glassware cannot be heated directly with
the flame of a Bunsen burner, and requires the use of a
wire gauze to diffuse the heat, helping to protect the
glassware. Glassware has to be flat-bottomed to stay
on the wire gauze.
DROPPER PIPET
- is a laboratory tool commonly used in
chemistry, biology and medicine to transport a
measured volume of liquid, often as a media
dispenser.
UTILITY CLAMP
- is a laboratory apparatus resembling a pair of
scissors. The screw in the middle works as the wide
adjustment of 2-prong. It is composed of 3 parts: 2-
prong adjust, metal rod, and clamp down (attach the
clamp to the ring stand for adjust the height). This
apparatus is connected to a ring stand or retort stand.
It is used to hold round laboratory glassware, such as
a beaker, and flasks, etc. This type of clamp is made
from stainless steel.
PINCH CLAMP
- is an item of laboratory equipment which
comprises a conjoined metal ring and radially-
extending rod. In some cases, the rod terminates in a
screw clamp for attachment to a retort stand or other
support; in others, the rod may be attached to a
stand by means of a laboratory clamp holder. Iron
rings are commonly used in chemistry laboratories
for supporting apparatus above the work surface,
Funnel
- is a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and
narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid or
powder into a small opening.
EVAPORATING DISH
- is a small bowl with a spout, usually made of
porcelain or borosilicate glass. As its name
suggests, it is commonly used to evaporate
solvents in a sample. The evaporating dishes we
encounter in a chemistry lab usually
accommodate small samples.
WATCH GLASS
- is just a round piece of glass that is slightly
concave/convex (think of a lens). It can hold a small
amount of liquid or solid. They can be used for
evaporation purposes and also can function as a lid
for a beaker.
GRADUATED CYLINDER
- is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to
measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow
cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated
cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been
measured.
ERLENMEYER FLASK
lso known as a conical flask or a titration flask, is
a type of laboratory flask which features a flat
bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. It
is named after the German chemist Emil
Erlenmeyer, who created it in 1860.
