Measuring Cylinder Glass

Product Code : SCL-LG-12000

The glass measuring cylinder is a graduated laboratory vessel used for measuring and dispensing approximate volumes of liquids during chemistry experiments, sample preparation, solution handling, and routine laboratory procedures. It is suitable for schools, colleges, universities, research laboratories, teaching labs, and laboratory technicians requiring clear volumetric graduations.

Product Description

The Glass Measuring Cylinder provides a practical method for measuring liquid volumes during routine laboratory work. Its transparent glass construction allows users to observe the liquid level and read the graduated scale while performing experiments, preparing solutions, or transferring measured quantities.

Science Lab Supplies lists measuring cylinders in 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL capacities. The verified 500 mL model has a 5 mL graduation interval and is described as transparent, graduated, heat-resistant, and chemical-resistant. Buyers should confirm the exact graduation interval and specifications for each capacity before procurement.

The product complements other laboratory glassware, chemistry laboratory equipment, glassware beakers, and laboratory flasks.

How to Use the Glass Measuring Cylinder

1. Select a cylinder capacity suitable for the required liquid volume.
2. Inspect the glass for cracks, chips, contamination, or other visible damage.
3. Place the cylinder upright on a stable, level surface.
4. Pour the compatible liquid slowly into the cylinder.
5. Allow the liquid level to stabilize before taking a reading.
6. Read the graduation at eye level to reduce parallax error.
7. Follow the appropriate meniscus-reading method for the specific liquid being measured.
8. Pour or transfer the measured liquid carefully after recording the volume.

Safety note: Do not use damaged glassware. Confirm chemical and temperature compatibility before exposing the cylinder to specific reagents or heating conditions.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the cylinder using a method compatible with the liquid or chemical previously handled.
• Avoid impacts that may chip, crack, or break the glass.
• Inspect the graduations and glass body before each use.
• Store clean and dry in a location protected from accidental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a glass measuring cylinder used for?

A glass measuring cylinder is used to measure approximate volumes of liquids in laboratories. It is commonly used for experiments, solution preparation, liquid transfer, and classroom practical work.

What capacities are available for the glass measuring cylinder?

Science Lab Supplies lists 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL measuring cylinders.

What is the graduation interval of the 500 mL glass measuring cylinder?

The verified 500 mL model has a 5 mL graduation interval. Graduation intervals for the other listed capacities should be confirmed separately.

How should I read liquid volume in a measuring cylinder?

Place the cylinder vertically on a level surface and read the liquid level at eye height. Follow the appropriate meniscus-reading procedure for the liquid being measured.

Is a measuring cylinder more accurate than a beaker?

A graduated measuring cylinder is generally intended for more controlled volumetric measurement than an ordinary laboratory beaker. Exact measurement accuracy depends on the individual product specifications and calibration class.

Can the glass measuring cylinder be used with chemicals?

The verified 500 mL variant is described as chemical-resistant. Compatibility should still be confirmed for the specific reagent, concentration, temperature, and duration of exposure.
