Value Brand 5PTJ7 Graduated Cylinder 500 mL PP PK12

Lab cylinder kit for high-volume liquid measurement

This pack supplies twelve 500 mL polypropylene cylinders for labs, classrooms or field stations that need many identical vessels at once. The translucent bodies let technicians confirm liquid levels quickly, while the hexagonal bases keep each cylinder stable on crowded benches. Graduations run from 50 mL to 500 mL in 5 mL steps, giving clear readings across the full working range. Spouts allow controlled pours without a separate funnel.

Capacity and headroom for routine 500 mL tasks

Each cylinder holds 500 mL, or 16.9 oz, with a 355 mm (14 in) overall height that fits standard autoclave racks and bench shelves. The 5 mL subdivisions are practical for preparing buffers, dilutions or reagent batches where ±5 mL tolerance is acceptable. Polypropylene construction resists many common acids, bases and solvents, but the material is not autoclavable, so heat sterilisation must be avoided. The 50 mL starting graduation means very small volumes below that mark cannot be read reliably on this cylinder.

Polypropylene construction

The single specification that decides fit is the polypropylene body combined with a non-autoclavable rating. Labs that require steam sterilisation between uses must choose a different material, while workflows using chemical disinfection or single-use protocols can proceed. The hex base and spout are moulded into each cylinder, and the pack quantity of twelve supports high-throughput stations without frequent reordering.
