This 500ml Simax glass measuring cylinder is designed for precise liquid volume measurements in laboratory and industrial settings. Its hexagonal base offers enhanced stability, while clear white graduation marks ensure easy reading. While it meets ISO 4788 approved Class B standards for accuracy, users should note that Class B tolerances are less stringent than Class A.

Class B standards for a 500ml cylinder typically have a tolerance of ±2.5ml. Always refer to the official ISO 4788 standard for precise tolerance values.
While made of glass, this measuring cylinder is not designed for direct heating. It is intended for volume measurement at ambient temperatures. Sudden or extreme heating can cause thermal shock and breakage.
The graduation marks are made of white enamel fused onto the glass, providing durability and high contrast.
Always place the cylinder on a flat, level surface. Read the volume at eye level, ensuring the bottom of the meniscus is aligned with the graduation mark for liquids that form a meniscus.
While borosilicate glass can withstand autoclaving temperatures, repeated high-temperature sterilization may eventually degrade the enamel graduations. It is generally recommended to clean with standard laboratory detergents.
The cylinder has a capacity of 500ml, a height of 380mm, and a diameter of 53.2mm.
Ensure the cylinder is clean and dry. For very dark liquids, consider using a white background or a contrast card behind the cylinder when reading the volume.
Ensure the cylinder is placed on a perfectly level and stable surface. The hexagonal base is designed for stability, but uneven surfaces can still cause tipping.
Verify that you are reading the meniscus correctly (at eye level, bottom of the curve for most liquids). Remember that this is a Class B cylinder, and its tolerances are wider than Class A.
Setup: This measuring cylinder requires no setup beyond ensuring it is clean and dry before its first use. Place it on a stable, level surface.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with a wide range of common laboratory chemicals. Avoid highly aggressive reagents or extreme temperature fluctuations that could stress the glass.
