A plastic measuring cylinder is a transparent or translucent laboratory tool for precise liquid volume measurement. Made of materials like polypropylene or polyethylene, it is lightweight and resistant to breakage. The cylinder features a narrow cylindrical shape with graduations in milliliters or liters along its side. Liquid is poured in, and the measurement is read at the meniscus. Plastic measuring cylinders come in various sizes, accommodating different volumes. Widely used in labs, educational institutions, and research facilities, they provide durability and convenience. However, chemical compatibility should be considered. Plastic measuring cylinders offer a practical alternative to glass counterparts.
