Question 1

What the diameter in inches and the depth?

Accepted Answer

I have the 500ml beaker. It is dimensioned as follows.

It has a slightly flared top lip - edge to edge of the flared top = 3.45"
The straight sided body outside diameter = 3.20"
The bottom 1/2"  tapers ever so slightly near the bottom in a smooth curve. The very bottom diameter = 2.83"
The inside diameter of the straight sides = 3.08"
The inside depth = 4.385"
The overall outside height = 4.45"
The thickness of the walls is approximately = .061" (difficult to measure accurately)

Question 2

Can this crucial be used in a map gas torch heated chamber mini melting pot 4x4 to melt glass?

Accepted Answer

I would think not. Google says the melting point of glass is between 2600° and 2800°F and the melting point of stainless steel is between 2550° and 2790°F. Looks like they will both melt about the same time.

Question 3

what is outside diameter of main cylinder??

Accepted Answer

I have the 500ml beaker. It is dimensioned as follows.

It has a slightly flared top lip - edge to edge of the flared top = 3.45"
The straight sided body outside diameter = 3.20"

The inside depth = 4.385"
The overall outside height = 4.45"
The thickness of the walls is approximately = .061" (difficult to measure accurately)

Question 4

Are these beakers suitable for induction?  Does a magnet stick to the bottom?

Accepted Answer

The 500ml one that I received is non-magnetic. A magnet does not stick to it, hence I don't think it will work on an induction cook top.
