Flat Bottomed Flask
- A glass flask used for holding chemicals whose bottom is flat and can be conveniently placed on a table or cabinet.
HISTORY
The German Emil Erlenmeyer (1825-1909), invented and gave his name to the Erlenmeyer flask, which is conical with a flat bottom, and crossing the Erlenmeyer flask with a beaker you get a fleaker with its straight sides that curve inwards to form a narrow neck to assist pouring.
