Complete List of Apparatus, Their Roles and Parts

Apparatus Uses Parts

Round Bottom Flask This is use when the contents need
to be stirred, it is utilized to prevent Mouth Opening
spills and gas evaporation. They are
essential for initiating chemical
reactions. Chemists frequently Neck/Calibrated
utilize round-bottom flasks to Mark
contain chemical processes,
particularly for reflux setups and
laboratory-scale synthesis and uses
when heating chemicals Base

Round bottom flask is primarily

used for distillation as this type of
flask allow more uniform heating
and/or boiling of liquid.
Thermometer Laboratory thermometers are made
for tasks like testing the boiling or
freezing points of other substances
or measuring their temperature.

Condenser A condenser's purpose is to transfer heat

from a working fluid—in a steam power
plant, for instance, water—to a secondary
fluid or the ambient air. The condenser
cools these vapor by condensing them back
into liquid droplets that flow into the
receiver flask through the condenser. The
condenser relies on the effective heat
transfer that occurs during phase shifts, in
this case during the condensation of a
vapor into a liquid. Maximum cooling is
provided by a condenser that is fully
stocked, enabling maximum recovery of the
purified liquid during distillation.
 Stand Elevate various lab tools, typically
glassware, using lab supports.
Additionally, they may go by the
names support stand, retort stand,
or clamp stand. You may set up any
chemistry or physics experiment
that needs elevating one object
over another using a support stand
and clamp.

Bunsen Burner This is use to heat reactions,

desiccate reactions, sterile
laboratory equipment and to allow
combustion reaction to occur.

Bung Use to seal bottles, tubes and many

other containers. It plugs containers
from the outside without displacing
the volume side. Some more
resistant stoppers can also be used
for heavy industrial processes.
Beaker Beakers are a sort of cylindrical
container used in science to
combine chemicals, liquids, and
other materials. They are typically
used for stirring, mixing, and
heating liquids encountered in
laboratory settings, as well as for
calculating the quantities of various
liquids used in scientific research.

Boss The boss is used to attach items to

the stand, like the clamp. The
vertical rod can be taken out and
put between two bosses to build a
straightforward rectangular frame
that serves as a sturdy stand for
heavier weights.

Clamp It is used to hold

round laboratory glassware, such as
a beaker, and flasks, etc.
3-way adaptor (Still head) It is an apparatus used to connect
the boiling flask to the condenser,
and the third tube is generally used
in conjunction with a thermometer
to measure the temperature of the
vapor.

Vacuum adaptor A vacuum adaptor is an apparatus

used to connect the lower end of
the condenser and serves to direct
distilled liquid into the receiving
flask.

Erlenmeyer flask Erlenmeyer flask serves a variety of

purposes. One of its purposes is to
be used as distillation receiving
containers.
