Quick answer: A Volumetric Flask is a precision glassware/plasticware item calibrated to hold one exact volume at a specific fill line, used to prepare solutions of accurately known concentration in chemistry practicals. Volumetric Flask is priced at approximately ₹260 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
The Volumetric Flask is calibrated to a single, precise volume marked by a fill line on its narrow neck, unlike a beaker or conical flask which only give approximate volume estimates. This precision makes it the standard tool for preparing solutions of accurately known concentration — for example, dissolving a measured mass of solute and then adding solvent exactly up to the calibration mark to create a solution of known molarity, a foundational skill in quantitative and analytical chemistry. Made from chemically-resistant polypropylene, this version offers shatterproof durability as an alternative to glass volumetric flasks, while still aiming to provide the calibrated accuracy needed for standard solution preparation.

Applications
- Preparing standard solutions of accurately known concentration
- Quantitative and analytical chemistry practicals requiring precise molarity calculations
- Diluting stock solutions to an exact target volume
- Teaching precise volumetric technique as part of standard lab skills training
Care & Maintenance
- Rinse thoroughly with distilled water between different solutions to avoid contamination affecting accuracy
- Avoid using for heated procedures, as it is designed for room-temperature precise volume measurement rather than thermal work
- Check the calibration mark periodically remains clearly legible for accurate readings

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a volumetric flask different from a beaker?
A volumetric flask is calibrated to a single, precise volume at a specific fill line, giving much more accurate volume measurement than a beaker or conical flask, which only provide approximate graduated markings.
What is this flask typically used for?
It is used to prepare solutions of accurately known concentration, such as dissolving a measured mass of solute and filling to the calibration mark with solvent to achieve a specific molarity.
Can this plastic volumetric flask be used for heated solutions?
This is generally not recommended — volumetric flasks, whether glass or plastic, are designed for precise room-temperature volume measurement rather than heating; confirm any heating-related use with STEMAids before attempting it.
What is the accuracy tolerance of this flask’s calibration?
Exact calibration tolerance (Class A vs Class B accuracy) has not been independently verified for this listing — confirm the specific accuracy grade with STEMAids if precise analytical work requires a particular tolerance standard.
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.
