Kinds of Measuring Cups

1. Pumpkin

The measuring flask is a chemical type that has an elongated shape with a wide bottom like a pumpkin as a placemat, and is equipped with a cover for the long neck. The volumetric flask serves as a container for making chemical solutions at a predetermined volume.

2. Glass Funnel

In the world of laboratory research, funnels based on the material are divided into two, namely funnels made of plastic or mica, and funnels made of glass.

A funnel made of glass has an elongated conical shape which is usually used as a transfer of chemical substances from one container to another. This type of glass funnel has a special size. Common sizes for glass funnels include multiples of 5 starting from 25 ml, 50 ml, 75 ml, 100 ml, 120 ml, 150 ml.

4. Test Tube

Although it has the name of the tube market, test tubes are also included in the type of beaker whose existence is important in the world of laboratory research. The test tube is a heat-resistant clear glass that has a cylindrical shape with a half-round bottom which is usually placed in a U-shaped tube rack.

The test tube is used as a container for qualitative testing of a sample of a chemical solution, and also a container for heating small amounts of chemical substances.
