Quick Answer: The LabEquip Hexagonal Measuring Cylinder (PP) is a volumetric measuring vessel with a stable hexagonal base, moulded from medical-grade polypropylene for chemical resistance and durability in clinical and industrial laboratory use.
Product Description
This Hexagonal Measuring Cylinder is designed for accurate volumetric measurement of liquids on the bench. Its hexagonal base is a deliberate design choice: unlike a round-based cylinder, it resists rolling and tipping when set down on a flat surface, which is a practical safety and workflow benefit in busy diagnostic or industrial settings where cylinders are picked up and set down frequently.
Manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene, this cylinder offers good resistance to common laboratory chemicals and can withstand the demands of frequent handling. Its plastic construction also means it does not carry the breakage risk associated with glass cylinders, making it a practical choice for busy clinical and industrial workflows.
What Makes This Cylinder Distinct
The defining feature of this cylinder is its hexagonal (six-sided) base, which sets it apart from the traditional round-based measuring cylinder. This shape provides greater stability on a flat bench, reducing the risk of the cylinder rolling off the edge of a work surface. It is offered here in polypropylene (PP); see our other measuring cylinder variants for different base and material options.
