Tilt Measures

Quick Answer: The LabEquip Tilt Measure is a fixed-volume dispensing instrument that delivers a consistent, repeatable volume of liquid with each tilt of the vessel, designed for rapid, repetitive dispensing in high-throughput laboratory and industrial settings.

Product Description

A Tilt Measure is a volumetric dispensing tool built around a simple tilt-action mechanism: the operator fills the measure to its fixed level, then tilts it to dispense that same volume into a receiving vessel. This repeatable action makes it well suited to environments where the same volume of a liquid or reagent needs to be measured out many times in succession, such as pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial testing workflows.

Because the dispensed volume is fixed by the design of the measure rather than read off a graduated scale each time, Tilt Measures help maintain consistency across repeated dispensing cycles and can speed up high-throughput tasks compared to repeatedly reading and pouring from a graduated cylinder.

What Makes This Measure Distinct

This is our standard, manually operated Tilt Measure, where the operator controls the tilt and dispense action by hand. For workflows that call for a mechanised or automated dispensing cycle, see our Automatic Tilt Measures, which build on the same tilt-action principle with additional automation.

Specifications

Care & Maintenance

• Rinse and dry thoroughly after each use, especially between different reagents.
• Check the tilt mechanism periodically to confirm it dispenses the same volume consistently.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to strong solvents or high heat if the measure is made of plastic components.
• Store in a clean, dry location, protected from dust and physical damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tilt measure used for?
It is used to dispense a fixed, repeatable volume of liquid with each tilt of the vessel, useful for rapid, repetitive dispensing tasks in laboratory and industrial workflows.

How does the tilt-action mechanism work?
The measure is filled to its fixed level, then tilted to pour out that same volume into a receiving vessel, giving a consistent, repeatable dispense each time.

How does this differ from the Automatic Tilt Measures?
This is our standard, manually operated version where the operator controls the tilt by hand; the Automatic Tilt Measures use the same principle with added mechanised operation.

What volume does this tilt measure dispense?
The fixed dispensing volume varies by model; please confirm with our sales team for your specific requirement.

How should I clean a tilt measure?
Rinse and dry thoroughly after each use, particularly between different reagents, and store away from dust and physical damage.

What industries use tilt measures?
They are commonly used in pharmaceutical, environmental, and industrial testing workflows where the same liquid volume needs to be dispensed repeatedly and consistently.
