  Design & Structure

  Key structural/design features:

  • Extraction chamber: The flask’s lower portion — sometimes called the “settling chamber” — usually has a capacity of ~ 25 mL and a diameter of ~ 35 mm

  • Top opening: The top is designed either with a pouring lip (in non-threaded versions) or a threaded neck (e.g. 24-410 GPI thread) (in threaded versions), depending on the model/manufacturer.Closure: Non-threaded ones are usually sealed with a rubber stopper (#0 stopper size). Threaded ones often come with a

  •   phenolic cap with PTFE-faced white rubber liner for chemical resistance and secure sealing.Glass quality: The borosilicate glass used is of high quality, fulfilling standards such as USP Type I and ASTM E438, Type I, Class A — ensuring low chemical leaching and durability.

  • What it’s used for — Typical Application

     

    • The flask is most commonly used for the determination of fat content in dairy products (milk, cream, cheese, etc.) and other food materials. The method typically follows a gravimetric fat extraction process: sample (milk/food) is treated with solvents (for example, alcohol + ether + petroleum ether), shaken, and after phase separation the fat is extracted into the solvent. Solvent is evaporated, and the dry fat residue is weighed

    • Because the flask has a designated chamber and is compatible with stoppers/caps resistant to organic solvents, it facilitates safe and accurate handling of chemical solvents for extraction.
