Erlenmeyer Flasks: a Blown Bulb Shaped into a Cone

Emil Erlenmeyer's flask of 1860 is a flat-bottomed cone with a straight neck: it can be swirled without spilling, vapour condenses on its sloping walls, and a funnel sits in its neck. Blow a bulb on a tube as for any flask, then shape it into a cone with a paddle while it turns and press the base flat. The picture: an Erlenmeyer flask, drawn by NIAID (NIH BioArt).

Imiyalelo

1

Blow a bulb

Close one end of a tube, gather glass and blow a thick-walled bulb a little larger than the base you want.

Shape the cone

Reheat the bulb and, turning steadily, press the upper part in with a flat paddle held at an angle while blowing gently, so the sides run straight from the base to the neck.

Flatten the base

Soften the bottom and press it flat on the marver so the flask stands level.

Ama-blueprint ahlobene

Lama-blueprint abelana ngolwazi — amasu, izinto noma izimiso

CC0 Isizinda Somphakathi

Le blueprint ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-CC0. Ukhululekile ukukopisha, ukuguqula, ukusabalalisa, nokusebenzisa ngaphandle kwemvume.

Sekela uMenzi ngokuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Blueprint yabo IKhomishane Yomenzi kumiswe ngabathengisi, noma dala inguqulo entsha yale Blueprint bese uyifaka njengoxhumaniso ku-Blueprint yakho ukuze wabelane ngemali engenayo.
