Measuring Cylinder 500ml
Product Code : SCL-CL-11478
Measuring Cylinder 500ml (SKU SCL-CL-11478) tops this cylinder series: a transparent glass cylinder graduated in 5 ml steps for measuring bulk liquids. Prep rooms use it to make up reagent solutions, measure distilled water for a whole class and dilute stock solutions. Science Lab Supplies furnishes it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
With a 500 ml capacity and 5 ml graduations, the cylinder is built for volume rather than fine resolution. Its clear glass is heat and chemical resistant, so it copes with warm water, dilute acids and alkalis and routine washing between batches.

Applications and Experiments for the 500 ml Measuring Cylinder
The 500 ml cylinder is used for bulk measurement: preparing class quantities of reagents, measuring water for dilutions and holding liquids for demonstrations that need depth. It supports teachers and lab assistants in schools, colleges and technical institutes more than individual student work.
- Prep-room work: making up class sets of dilute acids, alkalis and salt solutions.
- Class 9 science: demonstrating sinking, floating and displacement with larger objects.
- Biology and microbiology labs: measuring water for staining baths and culture media.
- Lab technician courses: practising safe dilution by adding acid to measured water.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Measuring Cylinder 500ml comes as a single transparent glass cylinder with a 5 ml scale, as described above. Funnels for filling, beakers and smaller cylinders are separate items, and any you choose will be itemised on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Most labs need only a few large cylinders, but you can request a quotation for any number. It will show packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and funnels, beakers or other glassware can go on the same quotation.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies as a registered exporter is able to ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Send a message from the contact page, add items to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page when a formal tender applies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 500 ml cylinder graduated?
It is marked in 5 ml steps up to 500 ml. That suits bulk measurement; for smaller volumes or finer readings choose the 50 ml or 25 ml cylinder.
Is it safe to dilute acids in the cylinder?
Measure the water in the cylinder, then transfer it to a beaker and add the acid slowly to the water with stirring, never water to acid. Wear goggles and work under supervision.
Who supplies the Measuring Cylinder 500ml?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the cylinder from Ambala, India, and looks after the quotation and dispatch for colleges, schools, tender contractors and distributors.
How should a large glass cylinder be stored?
Store it upright on a stable shelf or lying in a padded drawer, away from bench edges. Tall cylinders tip easily when full, so keep them away from busy walkways during use.
