ASTM E960-93(2008)

Standard Specification for Laboratory Glass Beakers

ABSTRACT
This specification provides standard dimensional requirements for glass beakers suitable for general laboratory use. The glass beakers are classified into types and sizes and are presented in details. The glass beaker types are: type I - low form with spout; type II - low form, with spout heavy duty; type III - tall form, with spout; type IV - tall form, without spout; and type V - electrolytic, without spout. Beakers shall be made of borosilicate glass conforming to the requirement specified. Types I and II beakers shall be constructed to have straight sides. Types III and IV beakers shall have slightly tapered sides. Type V beakers may have slightly tapered or straight sides.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides standard dimensional requirements for glass beakers suitable for general laboratory use.
Note 1—For packaging standards, choose among the following standards: Specification E 920; Specification E 921, Practice E 1133. For sampling and testing refer to Specification E 1157.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
