Porcelain Dish (China Dish) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Porcelain Dish (China Dish) (Product Code: SCL-619/057) is a round, white ceramic dish with a pouring spout, used to evaporate solutions, grow crystals and heat small quantities of solids in chemistry practicals. Its chemical-resistant body copes with the salts and dilute acids handled in school and college labs, and the white surface makes residues and crystal colour easy to see. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and is often listed by teachers simply as an evaporating dish for the lab.

Specifications

Typical Use

The china dish is the vessel of choice for crystallisation work: a saturated solution of copper sulphate or potash alum is concentrated in the dish over a wire gauze, then set aside so crystals form as it cools — a classic copper sulphate crystal practical in schools. It is also used to evaporate a salt solution to dryness when separating a mixture, to recover a dissolved solid for weighing, and to gently heat small solid samples during salt analysis.

Heat the dish gradually on a gauze rather than placing it straight into a hot flame, stir the liquid with a glass rod as it thickens to prevent spitting, and use the spout to pour off the remaining liquid (the mother liquor) from the crystals. Move the hot dish with tongs and set it on a heat-resistant mat, not a cold, wet bench, since sudden cooling can crack ceramic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size or capacity is the dish?
Diameter and capacity are not given in our current listing for SCL-619/057. Contact us and we will confirm the available sizes.

Can the dish be heated over a flame?
Yes, it is intended for heating. Place it on a wire gauze and raise the temperature gradually; avoid sudden cooling, which is the usual cause of cracks in ceramic ware.

What is the spout for?
It lets you pour off liquid cleanly — for example decanting the mother liquor from crystals or transferring a concentrated solution — without running it down the outside of the dish.

Which chemicals can it be used with?
The dish is chemical resistant and suits the salts and dilute acids used in routine practicals. For hydrofluoric acid or hot concentrated alkalis, which attack ceramic surfaces, please consult us first.

How should it be cleaned?
Soak off dried residues in warm water, loosen them with a soft brush and rinse with distilled water. Avoid harsh scouring powders that can scratch and dull the surface of the dish.

What should an institutional enquiry include?
