Glass Cylinders

Laboratory glass graduated cylinders are used to measure and transfer liquid volumes during sample preparation, reagent mixing, chemical analysis, and routine laboratory testing. Their graduated scales allow users to measure different liquid volumes within the cylinder's specified capacity and accuracy.

LabSafetyShop offers borosilicate glass graduated measuring cylinders, including Class A and Class B options. Available configurations include hexagonal-base cylinders, different measurement capacities, and selected models supplied with batch or individual calibration certificates.

Class A graduated cylinders are manufactured to tighter volumetric accuracy tolerances than corresponding Class B cylinders under applicable standards. Class A cylinders are generally preferred for measurements requiring higher accuracy, while Class B cylinders are commonly used for routine laboratory work where wider tolerances are acceptable.

Borosilicate glass measuring cylinders offer good chemical resistance, thermal stability, and clear visibility of liquids and graduation markings. They are commonly selected for laboratory measurements involving compatible reagents and solutions.

To contain (TC) cylinders are calibrated to hold a specified volume of liquid. To deliver (TD) cylinders are calibrated to dispense a specified volume under defined drainage conditions. Users should select the appropriate calibration type based on their measurement procedure and required accuracy.

Choose a graduated cylinder based on measurement capacity, graduation interval, accuracy class, calibration type, chemical compatibility, and certification requirements. For more precise measurements, select a capacity close to the volume being measured and verify the instrument's specified tolerance.
