The Distillation Flask with Side Arm is laboratory glassware used in distillation procedures for the separation and purification of liquids based on differences in boiling points. It features a spherical body that promotes uniform heat distribution during heating and an integrated side arm designed to direct vapors toward a condenser. Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3, it offers chemical resistance compatible with reagents commonly used in routine laboratory work and thermal stability suitable for controlled heating. It is suitable for simple distillation setups in analytical, preparation and purification activities on the laboratory bench. It is not suitable for pressurized processes or applications requiring precise reflux control or fractional distillation.

FAQ
-
Q: Can this flask be used for simple distillation?
A: Yes. Its spherical body and integrated side arm allow simple distillation setups when used with a suitable condenser.
-
Q: What is the difference between this flask and a round-bottom flask without a side arm?
A: This model includes an integrated side arm that directs vapors to the condenser, eliminating the need for additional adapters.
-
Q: Is this flask suitable for fractional distillation?
A: No. Fractional distillation requires a dedicated column, which is not part of this flask.
-
Q: Can the flask be directly heated?
A: Borosilicate glass 3.3 supports controlled and gradual heating, provided that proper heat distribution is ensured and severe thermal shock is avoided.
-
Q: Is it suitable for pressurized systems?
A: No. The flask is not designed for pressurized applications.
