In laboratory, hot plates are usually employed to warm up glassware or
its substances. Some hot plates also involve a hot plate stirrer, letting the warm liquid to be stirred routinely.
In a student lab hot plates are employed as baths can be risky if they
fall, scorch or catch fire. Two optional processes for heating
glassware employing a hotplate are accessible. One process is to hang
up glassware somewhat over the plate’s surface with no straight
contact. This not only decreases the heat of the glass, but it
reduces the pace of heat replacement and supports even heating. This
works effectively for low boiling point processes or when a heat
source's lowest temperature is soaring. One more method, known as a
teepee setup as it appears somewhat a tipi, is to hang glassware over
a plate and enclose the flagon by a kilt of tinfoil. The skirt should
begin at the collar of the flagon and swathe down to the facade of
the plate, not moving the sides of the flagon, but wrapping the
preponderance of the plate’s exterior. This process is for
glassware to be frenzied at higher temperature as the flask is
temperate circuitously by the hot air accumulating in the skirt and
not like just hanging the glassware; this process is better secluded
from drafts. Both these processes are helpful in a student lab as
they are powerful, economical, secured, and the user does not have to
stay for a bath to become cold after utilization.
