Beakers are widely used in research, industry and education. They are ideal for heating, because of optimum balance between thermal resistance and mechanical strength due to controlled wall thickness at sides radius and bottom. The spouts wherever incorporated are designed to have excellent pouring characteristics.

Beakers come in the following types i.e Griffin, Low Form, with Spout Graduated Berzelius Tall Form, without Spout, and Phillips conical with Spout.
