Laboratory Glassware Manufacturing Process and Its Various Applications

Laboratory Glassware

Glassware refers to a variety of equipment, traditionally made of glass, used for scientific experiments and many other work in science, mainly in chemistry.

Some of the equipments are now made of plastic for cost, and ruggedness reasons, but glass is still used for most applications because it is relatively inert, transparent and more heat-resistant than plastics up to a point, and relatively easy to customize.

Laboratory glassware is often held in place with clamps made for that purpose, which are likewise attached and held in place by stands or racks.

Applications

-> There are many different kinds of laboratory glassware items, Such glassware is used for a wide variety of functions which include volumetric measuring, holding or storing chemicals, mixing or preparing solutions or other mixtures, containing lab processes like chemical reactions, heating, cooling , distillation, separations and containing a full or partial vacuum, and pressure.

-> For pressurized reaction, heavy-wall glass is used for pressure reactor.

Production

Most laboratory glassware is now mass-produced, but many large laboratories employ a glass blower to construct specialized pieces.

This construction forms a specialized field of glassblowing requiring precise control of shape and dimension.In addition to repairing expensive or difficult-to-replace glassware, scientific glassblowing commonly involves fusing together various glass parts such as glass joints and tubing, stopcocks, transition pieces, or other glassware or parts of them to form items of glassware, such as vacuum manifolds, special reaction flasks, etc.

Glassware can be wrapped with Tinfoil or insulated with wool Style to smooth out temperature gradients.

It is common for students and those new to working with glassware to set hotplates to a high value initially to rapidly warm a solution or solid.

Reputed manufacturers make laboratory glassware using quality raw material procured from trusted sources after rigorous quality checks.

Quality & Improvement

Reputed manufacturers are continuously improving the quality of glassware according to the requirement of their customers.

Besides taking full care about the accuracy / Quality in work, equipments are getting tested from the Standard Testing Laboratories.

Good quality manufacturers have earned immense reputation by making advanced and up-to-date lab glassware which is admired by local as well as international honored clients.
