20 laboratory equipment or apparatus

Bunsen burner- is a staple part of the standard laboratory apparatus set. It


gives off heat through a vertical flame and so is ideal to be used when wanting
to warm up test tubes or beakers full of liquids.

Gauze mats-  are used to stand containers or material on when it is


normally placed over a tripod.
Test tubes- are probably one of the most iconic apparatus of a
typical laboratory. They are used to combine liquids and also heat
them up.

Tongs-  are very useful when conducting any experiments that


involves either intense heat or harmful substances. The tongs allow
you to grip and move things without having to touch it with your
hands.

Tripod  -  is used frequently in the laboratory and is usually


accompanied by a gauze mat that is placed on top of it
Pipette-  is used to transfer small quantities of liquids and to
accurately drop them into test tubes or beakers.

Graduated cylinder  - measures approximate volume of liquids

Funnel -  used to transfer solids and liquids without spilling


Volumetric flasks  -  to measure precise volumes of liquid or to make
precise dilutions.

Ring stand (with rings or clamps)  -  for holding pieces of glassware


in place.
Forceps  -  holds or pick up small objects

Mortar & Pestle  - The mortar is the dish and the pestle is the grinder.
They are used to crush or grind up chemicals.

Test-tube holders  - for holding test tubes when tubes should not be
touched

Condenser -  used in distillation


Centrifuge  - separates materials of varying density

Beaker - a liquid-measuring container
Crucible  -  used to heat a small amount of a solid substance at a very
high temperature

Wire Gauze  – used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask)


during heating.

Clay triangle -  a wire frame with porcelain used to support a crucible

FLINT LIGHTER  -  Is used to ignite the flame of a BUNSEN BURNER.


The gas collects inside the small cup, and the spark created ignites the
gas.
