Glass Filtering Crucible with Fritted Disc

The glass filtering crucible is an essential laboratory tool made of borosilicate glass 3.3, in compliance with DIN 12348. This material is known for its low thermal expansion, meeting the ASTM E 438, TYPE 1, CLASS A standard.

Thermal Resistance: Although borosilicate glass offers good thermal resistance, it should not be exposed to extremely high temperatures or direct flames. It can be safely used in a drying oven up to 500 °C, provided that heating is gradual.

Usage Recommendations:

  • To maintain constant weight, it is recommended to dry at temperatures between 110 °C and 150 °C.
  • Do not subject items with porous plates of grade 4 or 5 to sudden temperature changes to avoid damage caused by vapor pressure.
  • Place the crucible upright inside the oven or sterilizer for safe use.

Properties of Borosilicate Glass 3.3:

This type of glass is distinguished by its excellent chemical resistance to water, saline solutions, acids, and bases. However, it is sensitive to hydrofluoric acid and may be attacked by strong bases or phosphoric acid at high temperatures.
