FAQs

Can these be heated directly in a bunsen flame and what temperature can they be heated up to?

Porcelain evaporating basins can be heated directly or when placed on a gauze using a bunsen burner. Basins should always contain liquid during heating to reduce the risk of damage. If heating intensity is high, the flame should be moved underneath the basin to distribute heat evenly and avoid hot spots. Unglazed evaporating basins can be heated up to around 1350 degrees C, while glazed basins can be heated up to 1000 to 1100 degrees C. Grade A basins are more robust than grade B and withstand stronger heating and more heating and cooling cycles. Borosilicate evaporating basins can also be heated in the same way but not to the same temperatures, as excessive local heating may cause softening or deformation. Moving the bunsen flame periodically helps prevent damage.
