Product Knowledge
Background, typical uses and selection points for this product. We can send model drawings, technical data and samples to support your evaluation.
A graduated cylinder is the standard tool for measuring liquid volumes with reasonable accuracy: far better than a beaker, though not as exact as a volumetric flask or pipette. Its tall, narrow bore makes the meniscus easy to read against the scale, and a hexagonal foot keeps the slender cylinder from tipping or rolling if knocked over.
We supply cylinders in two accuracy classes: Class A for tighter tolerances, Class B for general-purpose work.
Graduated cylinders are used to measure volumes, prepare solutions and dilutions, dispense reagents and set up titrations. They are standard equipment in QC and analytical labs, pharmaceutical and food-testing labs, environmental labs and teaching labs. Labs that need documented measurement accuracy typically specify Class A, while Class B covers routine bench work and student use at a lower cost. Many labs keep both: Class A for method work and Class B for general preparation.
Each cylinder is a tall, narrow borosilicate 3.3 tube with a pouring spout and a stable hexagonal base. The scale carries main and sub-divisions with fine lines for reading the meniscus, and the cylinders are calibrated to contain (TC) the indicated volume. Class A cylinders are made to tighter tolerances; batch or individual calibration certificates are available on request for the model you order.
Stand the cylinder on a level surface and read the bottom of the meniscus at eye level. Don’t heat a graduated cylinder or use it for hot liquids, since heating can permanently shift the calibrated volume. Choose the smallest cylinder that holds your volume for the best resolution, and for the most exact work move to a volumetric flask or pipette. A plastic bumper ring on tall sizes helps protect against breakage if a cylinder tips.
We form the cylinders from borosilicate 3.3 with the hexagonal foot and spout, anneal them, then calibrate and print the scale. Class A cylinders are calibrated against reference standards and can be supplied with batch or individual certificates. Options include amber glass, blue or white scales, PP or glass hexagonal bases, stoppered versions and custom printed marks. Send us your sizes, class and quantity for a quote.
Customization
We specify the container, closure, decoration and transit packing as one package, so every part fits and arrives ready for your filling line.
Choose from standard sizes or request a custom capacity. We supply drawings with tolerances, label panel dimensions and nominal and brimful capacity.
We match caps, liners, pumps, droppers and stoppers to the neck finish and check the seal against your contents and filling process.
Flint, amber and colored glass, with frosting, spray coating, screen printing, hot stamping or labels. Material documentation is available on request.
Partitioned cartons, layer pads or bulk pallets, with shipping marks and pallet patterns planned for your route and warehouse.
Applications
Typical markets and uses. Tell us your contents, filling process and storage conditions and we will recommend the right model and components.
We confirm availability of the standard model, and review any changes to size, color, decoration or tooling for feasibility and lead time.
We send samples and specification sheets so you can check dimensions, component fit and finish before you place the order.
Your quotation covers packing design, shipping route, Incoterms and export documents, so landed cost is clear from the start.
