Cylindrical Measures
Cylindrical Measures (Product Code: SLE/CE/99) are calibrated sheet-iron containers of known volume used to determine the bulk density, or unit weight, of fine and coarse aggregates in civil engineering and concrete technology laboratories. Engineering colleges, ready-mix and site labs pick a size to suit the aggregate, choosing from capacities of 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 litres, each with carrying handles. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Are Cylindrical Measures Used For?
Bulk density tells a mix designer how much aggregate by mass fills a given volume, which is needed to convert between mass and volume batching and to estimate the voids that cement paste must fill. The empty measure is weighed, filled with aggregate either loosely or in layers compacted with the 16 mm tamping rod, struck off level with the rim, and weighed again. Dividing the aggregate mass by the known capacity gives the bulk density.
Larger measures are chosen for coarser aggregate so that the sample represents the material fairly, which is why the range runs from 3 up to 30 litres. Keep the measures dry and dent-free, since damage changes their volume. A full set is practical equipment for laboratories in technical institutes that teach concrete mix design.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Which capacities you need: 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 or 30 litres
- Quantity of each capacity
- Any extra 16 mm × 600 mm tamping rods beyond the one supplied
OEM Manufacturer
Cylindrical Measures in this range are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited under its ScienceLab brand, as the OEM. The sheet-iron measures and their handles are fabricated at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.
ScienceLab is registered as an MSME manufacturer (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and export shipments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT). Buyers therefore deal with the maker for quotations and repeat orders; see the ScienceLab company profile for more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacities do the Cylindrical Measures come in?
The Cylindrical Measures are available in capacities of 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 litres. Smaller measures suit fine aggregate and small samples, while the larger sizes are chosen for coarse aggregate so that the test sample is representative.
What are the Cylindrical Measures made of?
The Cylindrical Measures are calibrated measures made of sheet iron and fitted with handles for lifting when full. Keep them clean, dry and free from dents, because any change in shape alters the internal volume used in the bulk density calculation.
Is a tamping rod included with the Cylindrical Measures?
Yes. The Cylindrical Measures are supplied complete with one tamping rod, 16 mm in diameter and 600 mm long, for compacting the aggregate in layers during the rodded bulk density test. Extra rods can be added to the same quotation.
How is bulk density calculated with the Cylindrical Measures?
With the Cylindrical Measures, bulk density is the mass of aggregate that fills the measure, found by weighing it empty and full, divided by the measure's known capacity. The result is used in concrete mix design and in estimating voids.
Who manufactures the Cylindrical Measures?
The Cylindrical Measures are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and mixed-size orders are handled by the manufacturer directly.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Cylindrical Measures?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Cylindrical Measures is not stated in the listing, so please discuss it with us through the contact page before ordering, naming the capacities you plan to buy.
