Graduated cylinders are fundamental tools in laboratories and are essential for measuring liquid volumes with precision. Among these, the 1000mL Globe Glass Class A Graduated Cylinder stands out for its exceptional accuracy and durability, making it indispensable across various scientific and industrial applications.
Design and Construction
The 1000mL Globe Glass Graduated Cylinder is meticulously crafted from ASTM E438, Type I, Class A, 3.3 borosilicate glass. This material is renowned for its excellent resistance to thermal shock and high chemical durability, ensuring longevity even under rigorous laboratory conditions.
Featuring dual metric scale graduations, this cylinder allows for precise measurements, enhancing versatility in various applications. The durable white enamel printing ensures that the graduations remain legible over time, and the large white marking area facilitates easy labeling for sample identification.
The 1000mL Globe Glass Class A Graduated Cylinder, ASTM E1272 To Deliver Standard, 1/EA, is designed for precision and durability in laboratory settings. The solid hexagonal base provides stability, reducing the risk of tipping and potential breakage. An included polyethylene (PE) bumper guard offers additional protection against accidental impacts, further extending the cylinder's lifespan. Made from high-quality borosilicate glass, this Class A graduated cylinder ensures accurate measurements while meeting ASTM E1272 standards. Its clear, easy-to-read graduations enhance usability, making it a reliable choice for precise volume measurements.
Precision and Compliance
Accuracy is paramount in volumetric measurements, and the 1000mL Globe Glass Graduated Cylinder meets Class A calibration tolerance for the most critical laboratory work. Calibrated to ASTM E1272 standards, it ensures precise measurement of liquid volumes, making it suitable for applications requiring high accuracy.
The cylinder is calibrated "To Deliver" (TD), indicating that the contained liquid volume will be delivered accurately when poured out, accounting for the fluid film that remains on the glass surface. This feature is essential for achieving exact measurements in quantitative analyses.
