Cylinder Head CC Measuring Kit Plastic (TPX) , High Quality

Cylinder Head CC Measuring Kit Plastic (TPX) is a practical solution for measuring combustion chamber volume (cc) during engine building, head machining, and performance verification. Supplied by LabChoice Australia, this TPX plastic (also known as PMP, polymethylpentene) option is valued for its clarity, low weight, and impact resistance, which makes it a workshop-friendly alternative to glass when you want easier handling without sacrificing visibility of the fill level during measurement.

TPX is commonly used in laboratory components because it combines optical clarity with good thermal stability and broad resistance to many aqueous solutions. In a CC measuring workflow, clear visibility matters because accuracy depends on reading the meniscus cleanly and confirming that trapped air bubbles are removed. Compared with glass plates, TPX reduces the risk of chipping and breakage in busy workshop environments, training rooms, and mobile setups. It is also easier to manoeuvre when levelling the cylinder head or moving between multiple chambers during repeatability checks.

In use, a CC measuring kit is typically paired with a burette or calibrated dispenser and an appropriate measuring fluid to fill the chamber through a fill port while the cylinder head is level. For best accuracy, the measuring surface should seal consistently against the head, and the operator should fill slowly to minimise foaming and air entrapment. Consistent technique, a level setup, and a calibrated volumetric device are what drive repeatable results. The TPX plate supports the workflow by providing a stable, transparent surface for observing the fill progression and final level.

Chemical compatibility should be considered before selecting your measuring fluid. TPX generally performs well with many water-based liquids and mild lab fluids, but like most plastics it can be affected by certain organic solvents and aggressive chemistries. If your process involves strong solvents, aromatic or chlorinated compounds, or prolonged exposure, confirm suitability before use. LabChoice Australia can help you choose a compatible fluid and advise on handling practices that protect the plastic surface and maintain clarity over time.

ISO and ASTM are often referenced in quality systems and measurement practices, including laboratory-style volumetric handling, calibration, and procedural repeatability. This TPX CC measuring kit is intended to support accurate CC measurement workflows commonly aligned with ISO and ASTM expectations for controlled measurement practices. Where required, LabChoice Australia can assist with documentation expectations around ISO and ASTM wording for your internal SOPs, noting that overall compliance depends on the complete procedure, calibration status of the burette or dispenser, and technician technique.
