Destilleerimiskolb
Destilleerimiskolb, known in English as a distillation flask or retort, is a piece of laboratory glassware essential for the process of distillation. Its primary function is to hold the liquid that is to be heated and vaporized. Typically, destilleerimiskolb is made of heat-resistant glass, such as borosilicate glass, to withstand the high temperatures involved in boiling. These flasks come in various shapes and sizes, but a common design features a rounded or flat bottom for even heating and a long, narrow neck. The neck is crucial as it connects to other apparatus in the distillation setup, allowing vapor to travel and condense.
The specific design of a destilleerimiskolb can vary depending on the type of distillation being performed.
