Product Spotlight - Graduated Cylinders

SKS Science's plastic graduated cylinders are composed of polypropylene and are offered in a few different styles and sizes with several purchasing options to meet the needs of your laboratory. The natural polypropylene graduated cylinders are available in sizes ranging from 10 ml to 2,000 ml. These cylinders have graduations permanently molded to prevent fading during cleaning or autoclaving procedures. Measuring with these graduated cylinders is easy due to their sturdy bases and pouring spouts, which reduce the chance of spills. These plastic graduated cylinders meet the ISO 6706 standard for international quality control and have DIN 12 680 TT, Class B tolerances. To purchase, you may order a particular size of these polypropylene graduated cylinders, or select combo kits containing various sizes. You may also opt for these polypropylene graduated cylinders with permanent blue screened graduations, for easier to read measurements.

Short form polypropylene graduated cylinders are available in 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1,000 ml, and 4L sizes, and have many practical features. These plastic graduated cylinders feature a self-draining concave shape that helps in spill prevention during use, and reduces water collection in automatic lab washing machines. The bases also have holes to prevent suction on wet surfaces. The short, wide designs of these graduated cylinders allow for easy filling and pouring from molded spouts. Their short design also allows them to be stored in many locations where other cylinder styles may be too tall. For accurate readability, each plastic graduated cylinder has molded blue measurements.

SKS Science has polypropylene conical graduated cylinders in 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, and 1,000 ml sizes. These conical graduated cylinders have wide bases that provide stability for measuring, and a safe grip when pouring. These conical graduated cylinders are highly resistant to chemicals and are autoclavable for precise cleaning between applications. Another great option in plastic graduated cylinders are the plastic hydrometer jars which include overflow cups for measurement. The hydrometer jars have molded graduations and a durable concave base for continual use.

PMP is similar to polypropylene, with an added methylpentene polymer which provides a higher maximum temperature, greater transparency, and higher impact resistance. PMP plastic graduated cylinders are available in 10 ml to 2,000 ml sizes with either natural measurements or blue printed measurements. These cylinders are autoclavable, feature wide bases to prevent spillage, and meet ISO 6706 standards and DIN 680 TT, Class B tolerances.

Manufactured with virgin PMP, these plastic graduated cylinders are ISO 9001 certified and provide versatility in many compliant laboratories. After production, each graduated cylinder is marked with an "H" after a manual check for tolerance and accuracy is completed. These plastic graduated cylinders can withstand many forms of sterilization, including autoclaving. Note that repeated autoclaving will affect the overall accuracy of the graduated cylinders. These graduated cylinders have a crystal clear appearance, easy to read measurements, various chemical compatibility, and sterilization options that could make them an excellent choice for numerous laboratory applications.

SKS Science provides clear glass graduated cylinders for laboratories and educational settings. Clear glass graduated cylinders are available in sizes ranging from 10 ml to 2,000 ml. They are produced from 33 expansion, low extractable borosilicate glass, and conform to USP Type I, and ASTM E438, Type I, Class A requirements. Each glass graduated cylinder is marked with a TD to show that they have been calibrated "To Deliver", meaning that graduation lines indicate the volumes delivered from the cylinders.

The "To Deliver" clear glass graduated cylinders with bumpers are a convenient starter pack that is also manufactured from 33 expansion, low extractable borosilicate glass, and adheres to USP Type I and ASTM E438, Type I, Class A requirements. The 10 ml size in this starter pack does not include a bumper, but is created with a funnel shaped top to assist in filling. Each starter pack includes one glass graduated cylinder of the following capacities: 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml, and 250 ml. These glass graduated cylinders comply with ASTM Specification E1272, Style 1, Class B requirements and the 100 ml size may be used for some ASTM distillation tests. Starter packs are an economical choice when graduated cylinders are needed in multiple sizes or to stock a variety of cylinders in science classrooms and laboratories.
