A weighing funnel is a laboratory instrument used to direct substances into a container or testing apparatus while minimizing spills or wastage. There are various synonyms for weighing funnel, including powder funnel, weighing scoop, dispensing funnel, and analytical funnel. The powder funnel is used in a similar fashion to the weighing funnel, but is mainly utilized for pouring powders or granular substances. The weighing scoop, on the other hand, is used for dispensing and weighing larger amounts of liquids or solids. The dispensing funnel is used in industries such as food or cosmetics to fill containers with proper precision. Meanwhile, the analytical funnel is used in quantitative chemistry experiments to accurately measure small amounts of substances.
