Description
Nalgene™ PMP hydrometer cylinders are laboratory cylinders moulded from polymethylpentene for density and specific-gravity work with hydrometers and lactometers. Each cylinder provides a 500 ml metric capacity in a broad, round-base form measuring 390 mm in height and 50,8 mm in diameter, giving a stable stand for clear float readings. The PMP construction is lighter than glass and helps reduce the risk of leakage, breakage and contamination during routine handling on the bench. Cylinders are autoclavable, supporting standard cleaning cycles between uses in controlled laboratory environments. Supplied as a case of six units from manufacturer Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics under the Nalgene™ brand, they suit dairy testing, quality-control laboratories and teaching labs where durable plasticware is preferred over traditional glass jars. Transparent walls allow unobstructed viewing of the hydrometer stem, while the broad base improves standing stability on crowded work surfaces. The combination of practical 500 ml capacity, defined geometry and robust PMP material makes these cylinders a dependable choice for repeated density measurements.

Questions about Nalgene™ PMP Hydrometer Jar
What is this article?
Nalgene™ PMP Hydrometer Jar is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Laboratory Plastics for laboratory use. It sits in Measuring cylinders, inside Volumetric glassware, in Labware.
A measuring cylinder is the tall graduated vessel for a volume that does not need volumetric-flask accuracy. Class A and class B differ in tolerance. Reading the bottom of the meniscus, at eye level, is part of using it.
Volumetric glassware is glass that has been calibrated to contain or to deliver one stated volume at a reference temperature. That calibration is the whole point. Class A and class AS have a tighter tolerance than class B. A volumetric flask contains. A pipette and a burette deliver. A measuring cylinder is the coarser reading, used when the volume is not the result. The classes sit under ISO laboratory glassware. The chain back to the unit of volume is the work of the BIPM and of NIST.
Which category should I open next?
