The Side Arm Distilling Flask belongs to our flask range and is mainly used for heating, reaction, distillation and multi-neck assembly. Standard sizes cover 50ml~3000ml. Suited to synthesis, extraction and distillation where several attachments share one vessel.
The body is made of borosilicate 3.3 glass; coefficient of expansion about 3.3×10⁻⁶/K, clearly better thermal shock resistance than soda-lime glass. It works between -30℃ to 150℃ (thermal shock within 120℃); chemically it resists water, acids, salt solutions and most organic solvents; not for hydrofluoric acid, hot concentrated phosphoric acid or strong alkali; smooth transparent wall, low adhesion. Level, interface and residue are easy to read, keeping transfer errors small.
When selecting, confirm medium, temperature and connection first, then fix the size: the medium decides the material, the temperature decides whether heating or autoclaving is possible, and the connection decides whether it mates with existing apparatus. For duties outside the normal range — hot concentrated alkali, fluoride media, vacuum or repeated thermal cycling — our engineers can confirm a suitable option.
Parts are lamp-worked and blown from borosilicate tube or rod, annealed as a whole to relieve forming stress; joints and sealing faces ground in pairs, keeping items of the same size interchangeable. Work is carried out at controlled stations to prevent scratches and cross-contamination.
Each item is checked for appearance, dimensions and fit before dispatch; sampling covers capacity or graduation deviation, joint fit and wall uniformity. Items from the same batch stay consistent in size and feel, which simplifies central storage and reordering. Inspection records and batch information are available with the goods.
Typical applications
Handles containing, heating and reacting in synthesis and temperature-controlled reactions and is a common supporting item in such workflows.
Suited to solution preparation and sample transfer in daily work.
Used for incoming checks and batch-to-batch consistency comparison.
Straightforward structure and low operating threshold suit demonstrations and onboarding.
Carries material between weighing, dissolving, transfer and make-up, cutting cross-contamination and losses.
In method development it supports replicate runs with one consistent vessel format, reducing systematic error.
Choose by duty
Define the handling method, contact medium and temperature range before choosing material and interface.
Confirm the interface form before pairing with other apparatus; mismatches leak or will not assemble.
Choose material according to the contact medium and operating temperature; refer to the specification block.
Non-standard sizes, special interfaces or volume customisation are quoted separately.
Match size to the volume per run and the number of runs a day; oversize vessels add cleaning load, undersize ones force repeated batches.
Choose graduated or single-mark items when accurate metering matters; skip the accuracy premium for rough transfer work.
Service condition guide
| Condition | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ambient storage and transfer | Suitable | acids, salt solutions and organic solvents for long contact |
| Water bath or heating mantle | Suitable | heat gradually to avoid local overheating |
| Direct flame | Conditional | use a wire gauze or mantle, never heat dry |
| Rapid heating or cooling | Conditional | keep single-step shock within 120℃; thick walls need slower ramps |
| Vacuum service | Conditional | only heavy-wall or purpose-made items; thin walls are not recommended |
| Hydrofluoric acid / fluorides | Not suitable | attacks the glass matrix; use PTFE or PP instead |
| Hot concentrated alkali or phosphoric acid | Not suitable | prolonged contact etches the surface |
| Autoclaving | Suitable | standard 121℃ cycle with moderate ramp rates |
Standard procedure
Inspect for cleanliness, cracks and chipped edges before use; a crack spreads quickly under heat or load, so retire the item at once and never patch it.
Assemble as required for containing, heating and reacting and confirm the connection is secure.
Pour or transfer slowly along the wall to avoid impact on the base and splashing; with volatile or foaming media a slow stream cuts losses and cross-contamination.
When heating, preheat first and raise the temperature gradually; never heat an empty vessel; avoid thermal shock.
Clean promptly after use and choose the drying method according to the material; soak stubborn residues first and never scrape the wall with hard tools.
Before first use, clean according to the material; soak in dilute acid where appropriate, rinse thoroughly and dry. New items may carry processing aids, so clean before contact with samples.
Store without stacking or impact, in a ventilated and dry place; long stacking deforms the base, and volumetric ware should stand on its own.
Keep one batch together and label different sizes separately to avoid picking the wrong item; once mixed, the batch is hard to identify when a problem appears.
Keep a usage log with the commissioning date, media contacted and cleaning method, so replacement timing and traceability stay clear.
⚠️ Safety & handling notes
Sudden temperature changes create stress, especially in thick walls and wide openings; heat and cool gradually.
Avoid impact, dropping and scratching; never carry by a thin or weak section.
Clean immediately after use; dried residues are harder to remove. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.
Air-dry or dry at low temperature; volumetric ware must never be oven-dried.
Check for cracks, deformation and seal failure after long use and replace when needed.
Items should carry a clear label and usage record; mixed use makes cleaning history and media contact untraceable.
Stop using an item for critical work once it is cracked, chipped, worn at the graduations or leaking; never patch and return it to service.
This entry uses Side Arm Distilling Flask as the baseline. Two further on-site entries are available for separate comparison: Candidate 1 — Asphalt Distilling Flask; Candidate 2 — Petroleum Distilling Flask. The two are listed separately and independently; neither substitutes for the other, and neither is stated to match the product on this page.
The site classifies this product within the flask range, records the structure as side arm, and lists 50ml ~ 3000ml in the specification column. This entry compares the category and the documented side-arm structure only; the site records no comparable interface-form field, so no interface form is stated here. Listing figures from external material belong to external products and are listed in the background block below, not as RichTech specifications.
External-source entries listed separately (background only, not RichTech specifications): 100ml (EV-051)
