Description
Hydrometer cylinder, PP, raised scale, 500 ml is a tall measuring cylinder made from polypropylene and intended for density determinations with hydrometers in the laboratory. The nominal volume is 500 ml (0,5 l), providing sufficient immersion depth for standard hydrometer stems while remaining practical on the bench. A raised scale moulded into the wall improves readability of liquid levels during density or specific-gravity checks. Polypropylene construction offers good chemical resistance to many aqueous solutions and routine laboratory reagents, together with lower weight and break resistance compared with glass. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer Vitlab, this cylinder fits categories covering measuring cylinders, hydrometer cylinders and related volumetric glassware alternatives. It is suitable for quality-control, teaching and general analytical work where a durable PP hydrometer cylinder of 500 ml capacity is required. The raised graduation supports clear observation without additional printed markings that could wear off over time. Designed for professional laboratory use in density measurement workflows.

Questions about Hydrometer cylinders, PP, 500 ml : 5 ml
What is this article?
Hydrometer cylinders, PP, 500 ml : 5 ml is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Vitlab 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.
