Description

Beakers are cylindrical, glass containers with a flat bottom and a spout for pouring. They are used in laboratories for holding, mixing, and heating liquids. Beakers come in various sizes, typically measured in milliliters or liters, and may have volume graduations marked on the side for precise measurements. They are commonly made of borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock and chemical reactions, although plastic and metal versions are also available for specific applications. Beakers are versatile and essential tools in scientific research, education, and industry, and they are used for a wide range of purposes, including preparing and diluting solutions, conducting chemical reactions, and storing or transporting liquids.
