Beaker, Tall Form, Borosilicate Glass

Quick Answer: This Tall Form Beaker is made from borosilicate 3.3 glass and has a slender, Berzelius-style profile that helps reduce evaporative loss and splashing during titration, electrolysis, and heating work in chemistry laboratories.

The tall, narrow shape of this beaker reduces the liquid’s exposed surface area compared with a standard low-form beaker, which helps limit evaporation during prolonged heating and reduces splash during stirring or electrolysis. It is manufactured from borosilicate 3.3 glass, giving it strong resistance to thermal shock and chemical attack from acids, alkalis, and solvents. The beaker is fitted with a moulded spout for controlled pouring and printed graduations for approximate volume reference during general laboratory work.

Specifications

Applications

• Titration where a stable, splash-resistant vessel is preferred
• Electrolysis experiments where electrodes are suspended in the vessel
• Heating and concentrating liquids where reduced evaporative surface area is useful
• General glassware for school, college, and industrial laboratories

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. Because tall-form beakers are narrower and less stable than low-form beakers, use a clamp stand or support when heating. Inspect the rim and base for chips or cracks before each use, and store upright on a stable shelf away from bench edges.

What is a tall form beaker used for?

A tall form beaker is commonly used for titration, electrolysis, and heating tasks where a slender profile helps reduce evaporative loss and splashing, compared with a wider low-form beaker.

Is this beaker suitable for electrolysis experiments?

Yes. The tall, narrow shape provides good depth for suspending electrodes, and the borosilicate glass is chemically resistant to the electrolyte solutions commonly used in school and college electrolysis demonstrations.

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. As it is narrower and taller, use a clamp stand for stability when heating.

How is a tall form beaker different from a low form beaker?

A tall form beaker has a narrower diameter relative to its height, while a low form beaker has a wider base. The tall form reduces surface-area evaporation and suits stirring-heavy work, while the low form offers better bench stability.

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.
