Types of beakers by material
· Glass Beakers
Glass beakers are usually made from borosilicate material which contains boron trioxide. Owing to its material, it can withstand extreme changes in the temperature of up to 400 degrees Celsius. It also has outstanding resistance to chemicals.
· Metal Beakers
Metal beakers are rarely used as lab equipment. They are made from aluminum and stainless steel with the ability to resist temperatures up to 340 degrees Celsius and 550 degrees Celsius respectively.
· Plastic Beakers
Plastic beakers are also uncommon in the lab. But, they are available in different types of plastic material depending on the chemical compatibility and heat requirement.
On the Basis of Height
· Griffin Beakers
Named after English chemistry enthusiast Joseph Griffin, these beakers are short and squat. They are also called low-form and have a wide, flat bottom. They are 1.5 times taller than their width.
· Berzelius Beakers
These beakers owe the genesis of their name to the Swedish chemist Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius. They are also called tall-form beakers. They are 2 times taller than their width.
