Description
Canister 5 litres, S60/61 is a laboratory waste container made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE / PE-HD) for safe disposal of chromatographic solvents and other liquid laboratory waste. With a working volume of 5 L (5000 ml) and compact outer dimensions of 164 × 235 × 185 mm (W × H × D), the canister is well suited to benchtop use or limited storage space. The S60/61 thread is a common laboratory standard and is compatible with the SCAT Safety Waste Caps range, supporting secure collection of volatile hazardous substances. Robust HDPE construction provides high chemical resistance to virtually all solvents routinely handled in the laboratory and contributes to occupational safety. The unit carries UN-X approval for safe storage and transport of dangerous goods. Offered by manufacturer SCAT, this 5 L format belongs to a broader canister programme that also includes larger volumes for under-bench or safety-cabinet placement, with optional special versions such as level floats or internal fluorination available within the same family for enhanced permeation protection.

Questions about Canister 5 Liter, S60/61
What is this article?
Canister 5 Liter, S60/61 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SCAT for laboratory use. It sits in Canisters & jerrycans, inside Bottles & containers, in Labware.
A canister or jerrycan holds litres, not millilitres, and it is shaped to be carried and to pour. The material has to survive the liquid for the whole time the can sits in the store.
A laboratory bottle is a closed container with a stated volume and a neck that takes a cap, a stopper or a dispenser. Borosilicate glass is the choice when the liquid is a solvent, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved. Polyethylene and polypropylene are the choice when the bottle must not shatter, or when hydrofluoric acid would attack glass. A narrow mouth pours. A wide mouth is for powders and for reaching the bottom. Laboratory ware of this kind is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Traceable volume sits with the BIPM and NIST Physical Measurement.
