What is This Fisherbrand Lab Glass Beaker For?
This Fisherbrand glass beaker is a graduated squat form beaker and is designed for general purpose use in chemistry labs. This glass beaker can be used as a distillation receiving container, to hold different layers in an extraction, as a reaction flask, to heat solvent crystallisations, and more.
What Type of Glass Is This Beaker Made Of?
This beaker is made entirely out of borosilicate glass. This type of glass has various benefits important for experimentation:
- Chemically resistant, making it ideal for use with most substances, particularly acids
- Allows high maximum temperatures of up to around 500°C for a broad range of experiments
- Cover a wide range of thermal expansions, enabling direct seals with various metals and alloys
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion makes these shatter-resistant under rapid temperature changes
What Are Some Of the Other Physical Properties of Borosilicate Glass?
The physical properties of borosilicate glass are as follows:
- Coefficient of expansion (20 to 300ºC): 3.3 x 10-5/ºC
- Density: 2.23g/cm3
- Refractive index (Sodium D line): 1.474
- Dielectric constant (1MHz, 20ºC): 4.6
- Specific heat (20ºC): 750J/kgºC
- Thermal conductivity (20ºC): 1.14W/mºC
- Poissons Ratio (25 to 400°C): 0.2
What Is The Typical Chemical Composition of Borosilicate Glass?
Below is a table demonstrating the typical chemical composition of borosilicate glass (% by weight):
| Component | Percentage (approx.) |
| SiO2 | 80.6% |
| B2O3 | 13.0% |
| Na2O + K2O | 4.0% |
| AI2O3 | 2.3% |
| Miscellaneous traces | 0.1% |
Is This Chemical Beaker Certified?
Yes, this Fisherbrand glass chemical beaker is certified to ISO 3819, DIN 12331. This standard specifies requirements for an internationally acceptable series of glass beakers for laboratory use.
