Measuring Cylinder 500 ml (Product Code: SCI-622/052) is a tall graduated borosilicate glass cylinder used to measure large volumes of liquid and, inverted over water, to collect and measure gases in school and college laboratories. Marked in 5 ml divisions, it is a prep-room workhorse for diluting stock solutions into class quantities. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Lab assistants use it to dilute concentrated stock into bench-strength solutions for a whole class, remembering always to add acid to water rather than water to acid. In rate-of-reaction practicals it is filled with water, inverted in a trough and used to collect the gas given off, so students can read how much gas forms over time.
Because it is tall, stand it on a flat bench well away from the edge and fill it where it stands rather than while holding it. Carry it by the body, not the rim. Its chemical-resistant borosilicate glass handles acids, alkalis and salt solutions, but rinse it promptly after use so nothing dries on the inner wall.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), the original equipment manufacturer of this cylinder. It is produced at the company’s licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, under Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers.

What scale is marked on the Measuring Cylinder 500 ml?
The Measuring Cylinder 500 ml is graduated in 5 ml divisions up to 500 ml. This scale is practical for measuring large volumes of water or solution in one pour, and for reading gas volumes when the cylinder is used inverted over water.
Can the Measuring Cylinder 500 ml be used to collect gas?
Yes. Fill the Measuring Cylinder 500 ml with water, cover the mouth, invert it in a trough of water and place a delivery tube underneath. Gas from the reaction pushes the water down and the scale shows the collected volume; remember the numbers read upside down.
How should this tall cylinder be handled safely?
Stand the Measuring Cylinder 500 ml on a flat bench away from the edge, carry it by the body rather than the rim, and fill it in place instead of while held. Its height makes it easier to knock over than a small cylinder, so keep the area clear.
Who manufactures the Measuring Cylinder 500 ml?
The Measuring Cylinder 500 ml is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Enquiries, quotations and repeat orders are handled directly by the manufacturer.
