They are tall, cylindrical containers with graduation marks along the side and a spout for easy pouring. Available in various sizes and materials, such as glass or plastic (polypropylene or polymethylpentene), measuring cylinders are essential for quantitative analysis and routine laboratory procedures.
Specifications:
-
Material: Borosilicate Glass / Polypropylene (PP) / Polymethylpentene (PMP)
-
Capacity: 10 mL to 2000 mL
-
Graduation: Clearly printed or embossed for accurate volume reading
-
Base: Hexagonal or round for stability
-
Tolerance: Class A or B standards (as per ASTM / ISO norms)
-
Autoclavable: Yes (for plastic types, ensure temperature resistance)
Features:
-

Applications:
-
Used in chemistry labs for preparing standard solutions
-
Ideal for measuring and transferring precise volumes of liquids
-
Suitable for educational, research, and industrial laboratories
-
Commonly used in titrations and reagent preparation
Safety Notes:
Handle glass measuring cylinders with care to avoid breakage. When using plastic cylinders, verify chemical compatibility and temperature limits to prevent damage or deformation.
