These are, in fact, moderated:
As far as I'm aware, there aren't any. They're made of the mineral borosilicate.
To say the least, the "advertised" sizes in the description and on the sides of the beaker are deceiving: the highest graduation lines are all smaller than the advertised sizes.
Of course.

TL;DR DRbr>Benefits: DRbr> br>Excellent customer servicebr>Excellent customer servicebr>Excellent productbr>br>Cons: br>A cast iron pan may beat a glass beaker in a fight. br>Measurements on the glass may not be accurate, so I'd recommend measuring contents before filling. br>br>I've had these beakers for a long time and probably didn't need to order another set until my roommate had a minor kitchen mishap and the glass beaker broke (allegedly the beaker and a cast iron pan got into a fight, the pan was taken in for booking, and the roommate sticks to her story that she was out of town). One of the beakers was broken when the shipment arrived (the worst nightmare, right?). Amazon wanted me to return the broken glass, but I contacted the seller directly (all of their information is on Amazon, so it was simple) and confirmed that they did want a box of broken glass. Surprisingly, they declined (and did so in under a quarter-hour). They sent out a new shipment after a few emails back and forth (sending photos and clarifying things). br>br>When it arrived a few days later (I believe it was three), they sent a COMPLETELY NEW SET. They were a joy to work with, and they were both quick and courteous. br>br>I'm sorry the glass broke during shipping; however, that may be the nature of the game when shipping fragile items. I believe it was the RND gods who bestowed their blessing on me because the box had a lot of foam padding.
The beakers are good, but I dont trust the bottle markings to be 100% accurate. To be sure, I weigh and measure what I'm working with in milliliters. However, it appears to be close enough for a shoddy job (it all depends on how you intend to use these). I have to be precise because I'm working with some potentially harmful chemicals). br>br>10/10 will order again if necessary (hopefully the cast iron pan will be denied parole and my roommate will not "go out of town" again).
I was hesitant to order these beakers because I couldn't tell if there were 5 or 6, and there had been reports of them arriving soiled and/or broken. Six beakers in the sizes indicated were delivered to me. Except for the 50ml, which was twice the height of the 25ml (see image), they were all low form. I'd never seen a beaker with that aspect ratio before; it was strange. Pouring from it, on the other hand, should be simpler than with the low form shape. Pouring from a low-form beaker that is more than half-full is generally not a good idea - The liquid will tend to flow out in a wide stream due to the geometry involved. The beakers were clean, but I washed them because I might use them for food preparation. They were all in one piece when they got there. Given the massive amount of packaging/padding involved (as seen in the image), I can't imagine how breakage could occur in shipping unless it was dropped from a plane onto rocks. The graduations (as seen in the image) are typical of beakers. They're rough, which is fine for cooking but not for analytical chemistry. Look into graduated cylinders, pipettes, and volumetric flasks if you want to be precise with your measurements. They say they're made of borosilicate glass. In terms of thermal stability, they should be comparable to Pyrex or Kimax if properly annealed. I haven't warmed them up yet.
These are great for quick science experiments, but not for anything that requires precise measurements. I was mixing a 1 to 1 resin compound, and the markings on the beakers were slightly off, causing the mixture to not settle completely. The measurements are approximate, according to a notice on the beakers, but I didn't see this in the description (I may have missed it). This was less of an issue with the smaller beakers than it was with the larger ones. As a result, in order to achieve the desired ratio, I had to mix a larger number of smaller batches. Overall, they're of good quality, but they might come across as dirty. Before I could use them, I had to clean them thoroughly.
Glassware made of borosilicate is one of my favorites. I've been wanting some borosilicate measuring beakers for a long time, but Flame King are prohibitively expensive. I bought these on the spur of the moment, but I'm glad I did. They'll work well as barware and in the kitchen. Baking could be an option. br>br>All you have to do is keep in mind that the majority of things are proportions. As long as you convert your measurements to milliliters rather than ounces, you should be fine.
The products were delivered to the house on time. One of the beakers had shattered completely. The big one's graduated measurements only went up to 800. Please update the image of the product you'll be sending.
These aren't at all what they claim to be. There is no graduation line indicating their advertised capacity on any of them. Keep a close eye on the photo(s).
I opened them today and discovered that the largest one had been broken: (If you send a new one, please contact me so that I can change my review:).
They all arrived undamaged, sturdy, and appear to be; they did arrive filthy, and some of the white print is smudged and discolored, but I'd still consider this a good deal. These are ideal for me because I only use them to mix essential oils for candles and soap.
