Graduated Cylindrical Vessels

Graduated Cylindrical Vessels

Graduated Cylindrical Vessels are precision borosilicate glass containers designed for accurate measurement, handling, and processing of liquids in laboratory, pilot, and industrial environments. These vessels combine the advantages of clear volume graduations, chemical resistance, and robust cylindrical geometry, making them ideal for measurement-critical operations.

Our Graduated Cylindrical Glass Vessels are manufactured from high-quality borosilicate glass 3.3, ensuring excellent resistance to thermal shock, acids, solvents, and aggressive chemicals. Clearly marked graduation scales allow users to visually monitor volume changes during filling, transfer, reaction, or storage processes.

They are widely used in chemical labs, R&D centers, pharmaceutical facilities, and pilot plants where process accuracy and visual control are essential.

How It Works

1. Liquid is introduced through the top opening or feed port
2. Volume is read directly from the etched or printed graduations
3. The cylindrical shape ensures uniform liquid distribution
4. Liquids can be drained using bottom outlets or valves
5. Vessel can operate under ambient, vacuum, or controlled temperature conditions
