Crucible w/o Lid Quartz (Borosil®) 50ml
50ml crucible crafted from quartz glass (often marketed under the brand name BOROSIL®) without a lid is a specialized tool designed for high-temperature laboratory applications. While lacking a lid for containment, this crucible offers unique advantages for specific procedures due to its exceptional heat resistance and superior chemical compatibility.
Material:
- Quartz glass (BOROSIL®): This special type of glass boasts exceptional thermal properties. It can withstand significantly higher temperatures than standard borosilicate glass, often exceeding 1400°C (2552°F).
- High Purity: Quartz glass is known for its high chemical purity. It minimizes the risk of contamination from the crucible itself during experiments.
- Transparency (optional): Depending on the specific design, some quartz crucibles might be transparent, allowing for visual observation of the sample within during heating.
Design and Functionality:
- Size: The 50ml capacity provides a good balance between having enough space for your experiment and maintaining convenient handling within a laboratory setting.
- Cylindrical Shape: Similar to other crucibles, the cylindrical form with a rounded bottom promotes even heat distribution and efficient pouring.
- No Lid: This crucible is specifically designed without a lid. While it sacrifices containment capabilities, the lack of a lid allows for unobstructed observation of the sample and easier access for certain procedures.
Benefits and Uses:
- Exceptional Heat Resistance: Quartz crucibles excel in high-temperature applications, making them suitable for experiments requiring extreme heat.
- Chemical Compatibility: The high purity of quartz minimizes the risk of unwanted chemical reactions between the crucible and the sample being heated.
- Applications: This type of crucible finds use in various high-temperature laboratory procedures, including:
- Melting very high melting point metals or alloys
- Performing high-temperature ashing for analysis of inorganic materials
- Fusion experiments where sample needs to be melted at high temperatures
- Observation of reactions occurring at high temperatures (due to optional transparency)
