Beaker, Phillip (Conical) with Spout

Quick Answer: The Philips (Conical) Beaker with Spout is a borosilicate 3.3 glass vessel with a tapered, cone-shaped body that reduces splashing and evaporative loss during titration, boiling, and crystallisation work in chemistry laboratories.

Unlike a standard cylindrical beaker, the Philips-style conical beaker narrows towards the top, which helps contain liquid during swirling and boiling and reduces loss from splashing when reagents are added. This makes it a popular choice for titration end-point work, recrystallisation, and general evaporation tasks where controlling splash and vapour loss matters. It is manufactured from borosilicate 3.3 glass for resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack, and is fitted with a moulded spout for controlled, drip-free pouring.

Specifications

Applications

• Titration work where minimising splash near the end point is important
• Boiling and evaporation tasks where reduced vapour loss is beneficial
• Crystallisation and controlled cooling of solutions
• General chemistry laboratory use in schools, colleges, and industrial labs

Care & Handling

Allow the beaker to cool gradually before rinsing with cold water to avoid thermal shock. Clean with a mild laboratory detergent and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly with distilled water before precision work. Inspect the rim, spout, and base for chips or cracks before each use. Store upright on a stable shelf away from bench edges.

What is a Philips (conical) beaker used for?

A Philips conical beaker is commonly used for titration, boiling, and crystallisation work where the tapered shape helps reduce splashing and evaporative loss compared with a standard cylindrical beaker.

How is this different from a standard beaker?

A standard beaker has straight, parallel sides, while a Philips conical beaker narrows towards the top. This tapered shape helps contain liquid during swirling and reduces splash when reagents are added, which is useful for titration and similar precision tasks.

Can this beaker be heated directly over a flame?

Yes. Because it is made from borosilicate 3.3 glass, it can withstand the thermal shock of direct heating on a hotplate or over a low flame far better than ordinary soda-lime glass. Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes and never heat an empty beaker.

Does the spout affect titration accuracy?

No. The moulded spout is designed for controlled, drip-free pouring and does not affect the accuracy of titration work carried out inside the beaker. It simply makes it easier to transfer liquids without spillage.

What capacities are available?

This beaker is supplied in a range of standard laboratory capacities. Please confirm the exact volume you require when placing your enquiry so we can advise on availability.

Do you supply conical beakers in bulk for institutions?
