How to Use a Flask Weight Ring?

Trouble with water bath experiments?

Flask weight rings are the simple solution!

Fits 50-2000 ml flasks

Vinyl Coated Cast Iron Ring for stability

Step 1: Preparation

Check that the weight ring is clean and in good condition.

Choose the appropriate size of the weight ring based on the flasks capacity (diameter).

Step 2: Installing the Weight Ring

Slide the weight ring onto the neck of the flask.

Make sure: The weight ring always stays above the liquid level and the flask remains in a vertical position.

Step 3: Stability Check

Observe for 1 minute to ensure the flask remains stable while boiling.

Note:

Use at approximately 100°C (212°F). Do not exceed 121°C (249.8°F).

If the flask still wobbles: try a larger weight ring or add additional support.

If boiling is too vigorous: lower the heating temperature or use a larger water bath.

 

Keep your flask steady and your experiments on track!
