Overview
Titrating and mixing large volumes is what these Corning Pyrex wide mouth flasks are recommended for. They have a heavy duty rim to reduce chipping and graduations in durable white enamel, with an extra large marking spot.
The reason to buy is the heavy rim and wide mouth on borosilicate glass, which make a large flask easier to fill and handle. The limitation is the graduation accuracy: the markings show approximate capacity, and the listing has no heat or autoclave rating.
Who it's for
School and research labs doing titrations, mixing and storing solutions in large flasks. Work needing calibrated measurement should use volumetric glassware, and narrow-neck setups need a different flask style.
Pros and cons
- Heavy duty rim resists chipping
- Wide mouth for easy filling
- Durable enamel graduations
- Large marking spot
- Graduations are approximate
- Heat rating not listed
- Weight not listed
- Single flask only
Performance notes
Borosilicate glass resists thermal and chemical stress better than ordinary glass, and the heavy rim reduces edge chipping from handling. The graduations are for approximate reading, so accurate volumes need separate calibrated tools.
