Applications including general-purpose weighing, assaying, evaporating, combustion, dispensing, and even storing are possible by using boats. Compatible with laboratory equipment, these vessels securely hold materials for the entire testing duration. Even under extreme temperature or corrosive material stress, boat containers facilitate precise measurements without breaking down. Weighing glass funnels and pans as well as combustion boats have special features to improve overall performance such as crinkled edges, smooth glazing, or handles.
