Plastic Graduated Cylinder
Product Code : SCL-PL-12411
Plastic Graduated Cylinder (SKU SCL-PL-12411) is a 100 ml measuring cylinder in transparent, chemical-resistant plastic, marked with graduations for reading liquid volumes. Also called a plastic measuring cylinder, it serves physics, chemistry and general science practicals in schools and colleges. The cylinder is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at its unit in Saha, Ambala, India (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area), which deals directly with schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This cylinder has a capacity of 100 ml and is made of transparent plastic, so the liquid level can be read against the graduations from outside. The plastic is chemical resistant, and the cylinder is intended for everyday volume measurement in school and college laboratories.

Applications and Experiments for the Plastic Graduated Cylinder
A graduated cylinder measures liquid volumes for experiments and finds the volume of irregular solids by displacement: the rise in water level when a solid is lowered in gives its volume. Combined with a balance, it lets students calculate the density of liquids and small solids.
- Class 6–9 science: measuring liquid volume and reading the meniscus correctly.
- Class 9 science: volume by displacement and the density of solids and liquids.
- Class 11 chemistry and physics practicals: measuring reagent and water volumes.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one transparent 100 ml plastic graduated cylinder, chemical resistant, supplied as described above. Balances, displacement vessels and density samples are separate items and can be listed on the same quotation to equip a full volume and density measurement bench.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can be prepared for a single cylinder or a set for each practical group, and Science Lab Supplies shows the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other plasticware and school physics lab equipment in India can be added to the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and is able to ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Add the cylinder to the enquiry cart, contact the team through the contact page, or review the lab tender page for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of the cylinder?
The cylinder holds 100 ml. It is made of transparent, chemical-resistant plastic and carries graduations on the side, so liquid volumes can be read directly against the scale.
How do you read the volume correctly?
Stand the cylinder on a level bench and read at eye level. For water and most clear liquids, take the reading at the bottom of the curved surface, the meniscus, against the nearest graduation.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer of this cylinder. It is made at the company's factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and every quotation is sent by the manufacturer without an intermediary.
Can the cylinder measure the volume of a solid?
Yes. Part-fill the cylinder with water, note the level, lower in a small solid that fits, and read the new level. The difference between the two readings is the volume of the solid.
Related Measuring and Density Equipment
Measuring volume is half of a density practical, and the items below supply the rest. Two 500 ml plastic vessels handle larger volumes and displacement, a digital balance measures mass, and metal density cubes give samples to test. All four can be quoted together with the cylinder.
- Plastic Vessel with Side Arm — 500 ml vessel with a side tube for displacement.
- Plastic Cylindrical Vessel — 500 ml graduated container.
- Digital Balance — measuring mass for density.
- Metal Density Cubes — samples for density determination.
