Boiling Tube (Product Code: SCL-322/059) is a clear borosilicate glass tube with a round bottom, used to heat liquids and solids over a flame in school physics and chemistry laboratories. Students use it for melting-point, boiling and heating work, and its glass is both heat resistant and chemical resistant. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as part of its borosilicate glassware for India and export.

In physics, boiling tubes hold wax for melting-point and cooling-curve experiments and water for simple boiling observations; in chemistry, they are used to heat solutions, dissolve solids and carry out small reactions. The round bottom spreads heat evenly, and the clear glass lets students watch melting, boiling or colour changes as they happen.
Fill the tube only partly, hold it with a test tube holder at an angle with the mouth pointing away from people, and warm it gradually by moving it through the flame. Let it cool in a rack before washing, since sudden cooling of hot glass can crack it.
The Boiling Tube is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which as the OEM manufactures it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Labs and dealers get the glassware straight from the manufacturer, which keeps replacement orders simple when tubes are broken or worn; ask us about quantities. Background on the company is on the ScienceLab company profile.

What glass is the Boiling Tube made of?
The Boiling Tube (SCL-322/059) is made of clear borosilicate glass. Borosilicate is heat resistant and chemical resistant, so the tube can be warmed over a burner and used with common laboratory liquids under normal careful use.
How is a Boiling Tube different from a test tube?
A Boiling Tube is generally wider and sturdier than a standard test tube, giving room for liquids to boil without spurting out. Its round bottom spreads heat evenly, which suits heating wax, water or solutions strongly in practicals.
What size is the Boiling Tube?
Length and diameter are not listed for the Boiling Tube on this page. Ask through the ScienceLab contact page for the sizes currently offered, and state the size you need so the quotation matches your racks and holders.
How do I heat a Boiling Tube safely?
Heat a Boiling Tube gently at first, holding it with a test tube holder at an angle with the mouth pointing away from people. Move it through the flame rather than heating one spot, and let it cool in a rack before washing.
Who manufactures the Boiling Tube?
The Boiling Tube is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), made at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Laboratories and dealers buy it direct from the maker rather than through a trading intermediary.
Can Boiling Tubes be ordered in bulk?
Yes, the Boiling Tube can be quoted in bulk for school and college labs in India and international markets. Share the product code SCL-322/059, the quantity and the delivery location; quotations come directly from the manufacturer.
