Lab equipment is an important part of science in general.
Equipment are used to carry out experiments with ease.
Instruments Used for Heating
Instruments Used for Measuring and Holding Liquids
Instruments Used in Measuring Solids
Instruments Used for Transferring Liquids
Instruments Used for Heating
Bunsen Burner & Alcohol Lamp
Lab equipment that are used to heat material for experiments
Iron Stand and Iron Ring
It is a laboratory equipment used to hold or support beakers during experiments
Tripod
A tripod is a portable three-legged frame, used as a platform for supporting the weight and maintaining the stability of some other object.
Clay Triangle
Used as a support for containers when placed across a support ring above a burner.
Clay triangle can hold a funnel during filtering.
Wire Gauze
Wire Gauze on a ring supports beakers to be heated by Bunsen burner
Instruments Used for Measuring and Holding Liquids
Erlenmeyer Flasks
The tapered sides and narrow neck of this flask allow the contents of the flask to be mixed by swirling, without risk of spillage.
Beaker
A beaker is a container used to hold, mix, and pour liquid or powdered chemicals.
Graduated Cylinder
A graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. Graduated cylinders are generally more accurate and precise than laboratory flasks and beakers.
Test Tube
Test tubes are widely used to hold, mix, or heat small quantities of solid or liquid chemicals.
Dropper
Droppers are for addition of liquids drop by drop
Instruments Used for Holding Hot Solids
Test Tube Holder
Test tube holders are for holding test tubes when tubes should not be touched
Forceps
Forceps are used when fingers are too large to grasp small objects
Tongs
Tongs are similar in function to forceps but are useful for larger items
Instruments Used in Measuring Solids
Triple Beam Balance
The function of triple beam balance is to measure precisely the mass of an object. Mostly, this is used to weight small objects like gem stones.
Spring Balance
A spring balance is use to measure weight or force exerted on the spring.
Instruments Used for Transferring Liquids
Glass Funnels
Glass Funnels are for funneling liquids from one container to another or for filtering when equipped with filter paper.
Pipettes
Pipettes are used to dispense small quantities of liquids.
