Round/Flat Bottom Flask 2 ltrs

A Round/Flat Bottom Flask 2000 ml (2 liters) is a laboratory glass vessel commonly made of high-quality borosilicate glass, offering excellent resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion. The round bottom flask design features a spherical body, which facilitates uniform heating, particularly useful during boiling, reflux, and distillation processes. It typically has a narrow neck with standard taper glass joints (often 24/40) for attaching other laboratory glassware or equipment. The flat bottom version offers the convenience of stable placement on flat surfaces.
