Gas jars collect the gases students prepare in chemistry, such as oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide, either over water in a trough or by upward or downward displacement of air. Once filled and covered, the jar is used for identification tests and combustion demonstrations, for example burning sulphur or charcoal on a deflagrating spoon inside the jar. Two jars placed mouth to mouth also make a simple diffusion demonstration.
As borosilicate glassware from India, the jar tolerates the heat of combustion demonstrations, and its heavy foot keeps it steady on the bench. Put a layer of sand or water in the bottom before any combustion demonstration, never heat the jar directly over a flame, and let it cool before washing.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer of the Gas Jar, Glass. The jars are manufactured at the company's licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and dispatched factory-direct to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers.
As the maker, the company can quote jars and matching covers together and handle breakage replacements or repeat orders directly — ask us for current availability. Visit the ScienceLab profile for more about the company.

What are the dimensions of the Gas Jar, Glass?
The Gas Jar, Glass measures 250 x 50mm. It is a clear cylindrical jar in borosilicate glass with a heavy foot and a ground flange, suited to gas collection and combustion experiments at the student bench or the demonstration table.
Does the Gas Jar, Glass come with a lid?
No, the lid is not included with the Gas Jar, Glass. Order the ScienceLab Gas Jar Cover, a circular glass plate ground on one side, to close the jar's ground flange during gas collection and testing.
Can the Gas Jar, Glass withstand heat?
The Gas Jar, Glass is made from heat resistant and chemical resistant borosilicate glass, which copes with the warmth of combustion demonstrations. It should still not be heated directly over a flame; use a layer of sand or water when burning substances inside it.
Why does the Gas Jar, Glass have a heavy foot?
The heavy foot on the Gas Jar, Glass lowers its centre of gravity, so the jar stands steadily on the bench when filled with gas and covered, or when a deflagrating spoon is lowered into it during a demonstration.
