Results for tag: "Vacuum Flasks"

Vacuum flasks, also known as Dewar flasks, are a type of laboratory equipment used to store and transport liquids and gases at very low temperatures. They are made of two flasks, one nested inside the other, with a vacuum between them. The vacuum helps to reduce the transfer of heat from the outside environment to the contents of the flask. The flasks are usually made of borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock and chemical corrosion. They are often used in cryogenic applications, such as storing liquid nitrogen or helium. Vacuum flasks are widely used in laboratories, universities, and research facilities. They are also used in industrial applications, such as food processing and pharmaceutical production. They are an essential piece of equipment for many scientific experiments and processes. Some companies that manufacture vacuum flasks include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Corning, and Kavalier. Show Less Read more
