Bulb Pipette Blown at the Lamp: a Closed Tube Drawn, Bulbed, Pierced and Joined to Two Stems (Soward, 1886)

Alfred Soward's lampwork bulb pipette from Amateur Work (1886), made like his thistle funnel: a 3/8 in. bore tube closed and drawn down onto a 1/8 in. stem, blown into a bulb, a thin second bulb blown and broken off the far side to leave a short neck, and a second stem drawn to a fine capillary tip joined on.

"To make a pipette the process is very similar." (to the thistle funnel)
2

Prepare the tubes

Take glass tube of about 1/8 in. (3 mm) bore for the stems and about 3/8 in. (10 mm) bore for the bulb. Close the wide tube at one end in the form of his fig. 41 A, then soften it about an inch from the end and draw it down to the small tube's diameter.

Join the first stem

Cut the drawn, flask-shaped piece off with a file and fuse it to a length of the narrow tube: soften both ends, press them together, pull gently to reduce the thickened joint, and blow a gentle stream of air in.

Open the far end

Play the flame on the point opposite the stem (A in fig. 41) and blow a very thin second bulb with a strong blast. Break it away: it leaves a small projecting tube (B).

Draw and join the tip

Draw a second piece of narrow tube to a capillary end: thicken it in the flame, pull the hands apart, cut with a file and hold the cut end a moment in the flame. Join this stem to the projecting tube as before.

History and honest limits

From Alfred W. Soward, "Glass-Blowing for Amateurs" IV, **Amateur Work, Illustrated**, vol. V (1886), pp. 173-176, figs. 39-41 (checked on the archive.org scan amateurworkillus05lond). He gives no volume or graduation: calibrate it by weighing water if you need one (see the graduated-pipette blueprint). Metric figures are ours.
