WPI CG-0018 Heavy Duty Borosilicate Glass Griffin Beaker with Spout, 600mL Capacity (Pack of 6)

The WPI CG-0018, 600mL heavy-duty, round, Griffin-style, low-form beaker is designed for general-purpose use in education, chemistry, research, and life-science industries. The beaker is composed of borosilicate 3.3 glass, which has an 80% silica content that provides clarity, high mechanical strength, and high resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock. White, dual-scale graduations ease reading, and a marking area can be used for labeling. A pour spout prevents splashing and over-pouring. The laboratory-grade beaker meets American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) E960, type II standards for borosilicate glass. Includes six beakers.

Beakers are containers used by chemists, researchers, and educators to measure, mix, analyze, transport, and heat substances in a variety of laboratory, educational, and life science applications. Beakers are commonly made of glass such as borosilicate, and can also be made of stainless steel, or plastic materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polypropylene, or polyethylene. Material types are chosen for their chemical, heat, and corrosion resistance, and for their surface finish, clarity, and non-contaminating abilities. Beaker forms commonly include Griffin (low overall height), Berzelius (a high form), or a shallow and wide structure, which is used for liquid crystallization. A beaker's outer diameter (OD) measurement does not include the rim. Beakers can meet ASTM E-960 specifications for classification, design, capacity and dimensions, and markings.
