Measuring Cylinder, Polypropylene, Tough, Lightweight & Reusable
didn't see what you are looking for ?
Plastic measuring cylinders supplied by LabChoice Australia provide a durable, lightweight and shatter resistant solution for routine liquid measurement across teaching, analytical and industrial laboratories. Manufactured from high clarity polypropylene (PP) or translucent polymethylpentene (PMP) depending on the model, these cylinders offer excellent chemical resistance, long term dimensional stability and safe handling. PP cylinders align with USP Class VI and ISO 10993 biocompatibility frameworks, while the polymer performance characteristics follow ASTM D4101 for polypropylene used in laboratory equipment. PMP variants reflect the clarity and thermal behaviour principles evaluated under ASTM D4745.
Each cylinder features clear, permanently moulded graduations produced in accordance with ISO 4788 volumetric standards, ensuring consistent accuracy for educational, QC and general laboratory workflows. Class A plastic cylinders provide higher measurement precision and are individually calibrated to ISO 4788 tolerances, while Class B cylinders offer reliable everyday accuracy for routine dilution, reagent preparation and approximate volume measurement. The tall, narrow geometry improves meniscus reading, and the broad, ribbed base enhances stability to reduce tipping risk during filling or dispensing.
Plastic measuring cylinders are widely used in wet chemistry laboratories, environmental testing, food and beverage analysis, industrial processing lines and school science programs. Their lightweight construction and high impact resistance make them ideal for high throughput environments where glassware may be at greater risk of breakage. Polypropylene’s strong resistance to acids, alkalis and aqueous solutions ensures compatibility with most routine laboratory reagents, while PMP provides enhanced clarity for improved visibility during measurements. Both materials offer safe, repeated autoclaving where applicable.
All plastic measuring cylinders supplied by LabChoice Australia undergo ISO 9001 aligned quality control inspection. This includes confirmation of ISO 4788 volumetric performance, dimensional accuracy checks, chemical resistance testing in accordance with clarity and moulding integrity assessment, and evaluation of mechanical strength under routine handling conditions. PP and PMP materials are validated for compliance with USP Class VI, ISO 10993 and ASTM D4101 requirements depending on the polymer. These rigorous quality measures ensure each cylinder delivers consistent, safe and dependable performance across a wide range of laboratory applications.
