Full title and description
AS 2407-2005 — Laboratory glassware: Separating funnels and dropping funnels. This Australian Standard specifies details (dimensions, types and marking) for an internationally acceptable series of glass separating funnels and dropping funnels for general laboratory use.
Abstract
This standard defines the preferred series, nominal capacities, dimensional details, graduations, stopcock/opening arrangements and relevant tolerances for separating and dropping funnels used in laboratories. It aligns with the equivalent international specification for such laboratory glassware.

Scope
Specifies a series of standard separating funnels and dropping funnels suitable for general laboratory use — including dimensional series, nominal capacities, marking and graduation conventions, and the form of necks and stopcocks so that products from different manufacturers are mutually usable. The standard is aligned with the equivalent ISO specification for separating and dropping funnels.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition of funnel types (conical, cylindrical, graduated dropping funnels) and nominal capacities.
- Dimensional series and tolerances for body diameters, heights and outlet necks.
- Requirements for graduations and marking (location, style and readability).
- Stopcock and outlet fittings: standard forms, materials and interchangeability.
- Standard ground joint sizes and interface details to ensure interchangeability with associated glassware.
- Materials and quality considerations (borosilicate glass typical for laboratory use).
These topics follow the internationally accepted specification for laboratory separating/droppering funnels.
Typical use and users
Used by analytical, research and teaching laboratories; manufacturers of laboratory glassware; procurement and quality engineers specifying compatible glassware; and testing/inspection bodies. It helps ensure interchangeability and consistent marking across suppliers.
