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.

What does “low form” mean for a beaker?

Low form describes the proportions of the beaker – a wider base relative to its height compared with a standard tall-form beaker. This gives better stability during heating and stirring and makes it easier to fit a stirring rod, thermometer, or electrode inside without the vessel tipping.

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 with any glassware, avoid sudden extreme temperature changes and never heat an empty beaker.

What do IS 2619, ISO 3819, and DIN 12331 refer to?

These are reference standards commonly used for laboratory beaker dimensions and shape. IS 2619 is the Indian Standard, ISO 3819 is the corresponding international standard, and DIN 12331 is the German equivalent – all describing the same general low-form beaker geometry.

Are the printed graduations on this beaker accurate for precise measurement?
