Answer:
It is thicker and longer than a standard test tube, which it resembles, so that liquid doesn't boil over. The entire tube can be immersed in a Bunsen burner flame because it is composed of borosilicate glass, a type of glass which is resistant to thermal shock and will not crack when exposed to extreme heat.
