Whether it is research, industry or education, the Beaker has a wide range of applications. This simple container, used for stirring and mixing liquids, is also ideal for heating them. Controlled wall thickness at the sides, radius and the base ensures a fine balance between thermal resistance and mechanical strength, to enable effective heating. Many beakers also have a spout that makes pouring easier and more precise. BOROSIL® Glasswares are best-in-class products with several advantages. They have a high level of thermal shock resistance and a high operating temperature. Besides using USP type I borosilicate glass, constant quality control checks are conducted throughout the production process to ensure uniformity of the wall thickness. Such uniform wall thickness distribution prevents uneven expansion and stressing of the glass that often results in failure.
