PYREX®®® brand filter flask, high standard series 5340.
This PYREX®® brand 500mL filter flask features sidearm tubulation for easy connection to filter pump hoses. Heavy wall, graduated on side, flat bottom. Necks finished to give excellent fitting for #7 rubber stopper.
The filter flask looks like an Erlenmeyer flask with a short arm coming out of it. The “arm” is designed to connect the flask to a vacuum source. When sealed on the top with a stopper or a Buchner funnel, the vacuum flask will hold a reduced pressure. Note the heavy the walls of this flask – they are designed to withstand reduced pressure without imploding.
Filter flasks are also called “side-arm flasks” and “vacuum flasks” and are used either for filtering solutions or for removing solvent under reduced pressure.
