Product Overview
The Corning 5100-250 Pyrex Wide Mouth Erlenmeyer Flask is a versatile piece of laboratory glassware designed for various scientific applications, including titration. It features a heavy-duty rim to minimize chipping and a wide mouth for easy access and cleaning. The flask is graduated in durable white enamel, indicating approximate capacities from 50 mL to 200 mL, and includes an extra-large marking spot for clear labeling. Its uniform wall thickness ensures a balance of mechanical strength and resistance to thermal shock.

Gadzirira
The Corning 5100-250 Erlenmeyer Flask is ready for immediate use upon receipt. No assembly is required. Before first use, it is recommended to clean the flask thoroughly according to standard laboratory glassware cleaning procedures.
Zvinodiwa Zvishandiso (Zvisina Kubatanidzwa):
- Rubber Stopper No. 8: For sealing the flask when required for experiments or storage.
- Appropriate cleaning solutions and brushes for glassware.
Operating Instruction
This Erlenmeyer flask is designed for general laboratory use, including mixing, heating, cooling, incubation, filtration, and titration.
Mashandisiro Mazano:
- Kuzadza: Carefully pour liquids into the flask. The wide mouth facilitates easy pouring and minimizes spills.
- Kuyera: Use the white enamel graduations for approximate volume measurements. For precise measurements, use calibrated volumetric glassware. The graduations range from 50 mL to 200 mL.
- Kusanganisa: Swirl the flask gently to mix contents. The conical shape aids in efficient mixing without splashing.
- Kupisa: The flask is designed with uniform wall thickness for thermal shock resistance. It can be heated on a hot plate, with a Bunsen burner (using a wire gauze), or in a water bath. Ensure even heating to prevent localized stress.
- Kutonhodza: The flask can be cooled in an ice bath or refrigerator.
- Kuisa chisimbiso: If sealing is required, use a No. 8 rubber stopper (not included) to ensure a secure fit.
- Kumaka: Utilize the extra-large marking spot for temporary or permanent labeling with appropriate laboratory markers.
Zvakakosha: Always handle glassware with care. Avoid sudden temperature changes that could exceed the flask's thermal shock resistance, although it is designed to be robust.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance extends the life of your Pyrex Erlenmeyer flask and ensures accurate results.
Kuchenesa:
- After each use, rinse the flask thoroughly with water.
- Wash with appropriate laboratory detergents and brushes. The wide mouth allows for easy access for cleaning.
- For stubborn residues, use specialized glassware cleaning solutions or methods (e.g., acid baths, ultrasonic cleaners) as per laboratory safety protocols.
- Rinse multiple times with distilled or deionized water to remove all traces of cleaning agents.
- Dry the flask completely before storage or next use.
Kuchengeta:
- Store clean, dry flasks in a designated area to prevent breakage and contamination.
- Avoid stacking flasks directly on top of each other without protective dividers.
Kuongorora:
- Regularly inspect the flask for chips, cracks, or scratches, especially around the rim and base.
- Do not use damaged glassware, as it can compromise safety and experimental integrity.
Kugadzirisa matambudziko
While the Corning Pyrex flask is a robust piece of equipment, issues can arise from improper handling or use.
| Dambudziko | Zvinogona Kukonzera | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flask breaks during heating/cooling | Sudden or extreme temperature changes; pre-existing micro-cracks. | Ensure gradual heating/cooling. Inspect flask for damage before use. Discard damaged glassware. |
| Chipping around the rim | Impact with hard surfaces; improper handling. | Handle with care. The heavy-duty rim is designed to reduce chipping, but not eliminate it entirely. Discard if chipped. |
| Residue difficult to remove | Dried-on chemicals; inappropriate cleaning method. | Clean immediately after use. Use appropriate detergents or specialized cleaning solutions for specific residues. Consider soaking. |
