Conical Flask, Plastic

Quick answer: This Plastic Conical (Erlenmeyer) Flask offers a shatterproof, lightweight alternative to glass for mixing, swirling and storing liquid samples — suited to titrations and general mixing tasks, though not to direct heating, where borosilicate glass is still the appropriate choice. Conical Flask, Plastic is priced at approximately ₹160 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).

The Plastic Conical Flask is shaped like a traditional Erlenmeyer flask, with a wide base narrowing to a smaller neck, making it easy to swirl contents without spilling — a common requirement during titrations, where the flask is swirled continuously as titrant is added. Being plastic rather than glass, it is shatterproof and lightweight, reducing breakage risk during regular classroom handling and general sample storage or mixing tasks. It is not intended as a substitute for glass in applications that involve direct heating over a flame or hotplate, where borosilicate glass remains the appropriate, heat-resistant choice — this plastic version is best suited to room-temperature mixing, titration, and general liquid handling rather than thermal procedures.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this plastic flask be heated directly over a flame or hotplate?

No — this plastic version is not suited to direct heating. For any heated procedure, use a borosilicate glass conical flask, which is designed to withstand thermal stress; this plastic flask is intended for room-temperature mixing, titration and general liquid handling.

What is this flask typically used for?

It is commonly used for titrations (where its shape allows continuous swirling without spillage), general mixing, and sample storage or transport where breakage risk matters.

Why choose plastic over glass for this flask?

Plastic offers shatterproof, lightweight durability for regular classroom handling and general liquid tasks, though it should not be used for applications requiring direct heating.

Does STEMAids supply this in bulk for institutional labs?

Yes — STEMAids supplies laboratory equipment including plastic conical flasks for institutional and bulk orders; contact STEMAids to confirm current quantities and pricing.

Are exact flask capacity and dimensions available for tender specification?

Exact capacity and dimensions have not been independently verified for this listing. Institutions preparing tender documents should confirm precise specifications directly with STEMAids before finalising procurement paperwork.

Is STEMAids a registered manufacturer of this product?

Yes. Eduscope Smart Learning Solutions Private Limited is a Udyam-registered micro manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-DL-06-0069460) and is ISO 9001:2015 certified. See the About page for full registration and certification details — manufacturer-stated, verify before citing in procurement documents.
