How accurate are these beakers?

According to Scientific Equipment of Houston, the manufacturer, these are accurate to +/-5% depending on the volume being measured. This is the disclaimer provided for all of the lab equipment they sell no matter if it's glass, plastic or whatever. I use them for measuring hydroponic nutrients and find them to be very accurate and as accurate as any other measuring equipment you can find for less and than $100.

Yes - because these are for dry measuring (flour, sugar, etc.) You need to get a glass or hard plastic liquid measuring cup like Pyrex. Try this link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=liquid%20measuring%20cup&sprefix;=liquid+mea%2Caps

The best way to tell is to measure the height and diameter of your beaker and see how it compares to the Bodum beaker. If you enlarge the picture of the Bodum packaging on Amazon you can see the measurements.

I watch Americas Test Kitchen they tested the spoons and the were accurate. I personally tested the cups and they are off by 0.05 oz but that could be my measuring quality's.

I was a little sceptical myself, considering the sheer price difference between Bodum's (ripoff) beaker and this one. i have one of the Young plastic case Bodum presses and all I can say is it fit perfectly. I don't have the Bodum original beaker anymore to measure (shattered, thus the replacement), otherwise I'd measure it.

I'm not sure I they are accurate, but the bowls are so wonderful. This is all I use in my kitchen now. The two strainers are great and the big bowl is big enough for anything! I highly recommend this set.

(Yes).... and they are very accurate just remember to adjust the bounce of the needle to get the correct reading

I bought those too, the readings with the no-calibration strips still came out as 0.1's almost all the time with occasional 0.2's just like the first set of calibrated strips that I had bought with the meter originally. I'm an engineer and don't know exactly how they do it, but nanoscale manufacturing these days is doing amazing things so maybe the calibration sample is on the strip sub-microscopically and we simply can't see it. Just follow the instructions and be happy.

I have had no problems with mine. Accurate as far as I have been able to determine.

Yea its pretty accurate i use mine every day it comes with 2 bead probes i bought 2 pipe clams for measuring super heat and sub cooling make sure to calibrate before using

I think it is more accurate than the light one that come with the 8 cup pitcher. When this tester reads 009, the included light only tester stays dark.

I don't know for sure, but my guess would be "No." As most devises have a +/- accuracy and I would expect that for the price they are charging it is quite possible it is accurate to around five percent. Hope that helps, I still really like mine. They work extremely well on my generator panel.

I have not made an exhaustive study of thermometer accuracy over a wide range, however, the instrument provides user calibration adjustments with boiling water and ice bath. I feel setting these two points will result in good accuracy over normal cooking temp. range. This is not a laboratory (I'm sure it would work well in a HS lab) thermometer, but, we are talking about cooking and not chemical reactions. Most importantly, this is a strong, reliable, low power drain device that is a pleasure to use. Previous commenter provided manufacturer accuracy specs.

I really don't know..I never got that far to check the accuracy of the cups and spoons..reason being, the cup edges are so sharp they are dangerous. Trust me, they will cut you bad. I threw them away in the metal recycling box, so no one could hurt around here, including me.

Some of these units come with a clip to allow you to attach it to the side of a pot. So long as the probe is not touching the bottom or side of the pot you should get a reliable reading. Just be sure you have stirred the pot so the temp of the liquid is uniform.

Seems to be accurate. Sampling time is several times per second. No idea about how reliable, when I was on the O2 the reading was higher than when I was not.

These were a gift for my brother-in-law who is getting his Ph.D. in Chemistry. Naturally he did an experiment. This is his answer for you:"Each of them hold approximately 50mL (which is equivalent to about 1.7 US fluid ounces. (While determined acurately using 5 decimal places, it remains an estimate as the density of EtOH/Water mixtures are different than pure water). so i would say about 1.5 fluid ounces is about accurate." Hope this helps :)
