Description

A combustion tube is a laboratory apparatus used to carry out combustion reactions or to contain substances for combustion analysis. Typically made from heat-resistant materials like borosilicate glass, quartz, or ceramic, combustion tubes are crucial in experiments where substances need to be burned in a controlled, high-temperature environment. These tubes are commonly used in oxidation, fuel testing, and gas analysis.
It is an essential laboratory testing tools used to observe burning reactions between oxygen and another compound. The porcelain vessels are naturally porous allowing the reaction produced water to separate during organic molecules ignition.
