Glass Beakers

Details : 

Beakers are a type of cylindrical container used to mix chemicals, liquids and other substances together for scientific testing. They are also used routinely in laboratory experiments to calculate the volumes of various liquids. However, beakers are not the primary choice for measuring in labs, as they are only capable of providing figures within a 10 percent accuracy range. Beakers are manufactured in a range of sizes, from tall and thin to short and stout. Each size has a different purpose. Beakers contain markings on their sides to indicate different volume measurements, similar to common measuring cups. Because beakers can only provide a rough estimation, the preferred instruments of choice for obtaining precise scientific measurements are graduated cylinders and volumetric flasks.
