A test tube, also known as a culture tube or sample tube, is a common piece of laboratory glassware consisting of a finger-like length of glass or clearplastic tubing, open at the top, usually with a rounded U-shaped bottom. A large test tube designed specifically for boiling liquids is called a boiling tube.

What is Hard test tube?
a hard glass test tube is a test tube made out of glass that is almost impossible to break.
What is the function of the glass tubing?
The function of a hard glass test tube is heating a substance. The glass is resistant to chemicals and it can withstand pressure and heat.
Hard glass test tubes - material?
A test tube is usually made from plastic or glass and is shaped like a long tube. If used for a physics or chemistry experiment, one would use the glass test tube. If used for cultures, one would use the plastic tube and discard after use.

What gas is evolved when a few crystals of potassium nitrate are heated in a hard glass test tube?
Nitrogen dioxide and oxygen are released.
How did the test tube get its name?
It is a glass tube and it is used to contain substances being tested!
What holds a test tube?
A test tube holder, also known as a test tube clamp or test tube rack, is used to hold a test tube securely in place during experiments and handling. It provides a firm grip to prevent the test tube from slipping or breaking.
Why does the water plug in the glass tubing moves upward as temperature in the test tube increases?
As the temperature in the test tube increases, the air inside the test tube expands, leading to a decrease in pressure. This decrease in pressure causes the water plug in the glass tubing to move upward as it seeks to equalize the pressure inside and outside the test tube.
Does blood clot in a glass test tube?
Yes, blood can clot in a glass test tube because the tube provides a surface for the blood cells and proteins to adhere to and form a clot. Clotting can be prevented by using anticoagulants in the tube or by carefully handling the sample to avoid triggering the clotting process.

Is a test tube glass?
It can be, but you can get plastic ones that you can't heat (or they'd melt!)
Why don't you heat a test tube continuously?
To avoid dangerous tension in the glass.
