FAQs
What are these beaker covers used for?
They are placed over laboratory beakers to help reduce evaporation of the contents and to limit airborne dust and debris from contaminating a sample during heating, mixing, or storage. Made of stainless steel, they are reusable and sized to match a range of common beaker capacities from 1.2 L to 12 L.
What material are the covers made from?
Each cover is made of stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant metal valued in laboratories for durability and easy cleaning. Stainless steel withstands routine washing and many chemicals better than disposable coverings, so the covers can be reused across many procedures in laboratory and industrial settings.
What sizes are available?
The group includes six sizes: 1.2 L, 2 Qt, 4 L, 6 Qt, 8.25 Qt, and 12 L. Matching the cover to the beaker in use gives the best fit for evaporation control and contamination protection. The 12 L cover is supplied as a case of four.
Do the covers fit all beakers?
The covers are offered in six sizes to suit a range of beakers, so choose the size closest to your beaker's capacity for the best fit. Because beaker diameters can vary by manufacturer, confirm the cover size against your specific beaker before ordering if an exact fit is critical.
Are the covers reusable?
Yes. Because they are made of stainless steel rather than a disposable material, the covers can be cleaned and reused across many procedures. Stainless steel holds up to routine laboratory washing and resists corrosion, which supports a long service life in typical laboratory and industrial use.
