OMSONS Measuring Cylinders with Hexagonal Base (Class A) are high-precision volumetric instruments designed for critical liquid measurement in analytical and research laboratories. The hexagonal base provides superior stability compared to round-base models, preventing the cylinder from rolling if knocked over.
A graduated cylinder, also known as measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured.
The hexagonal base on OMSONS measuring cylinders is a safety-driven design choice that offers three main advantages over traditional round bases:
- Anti-Roll Protection: If the cylinder is accidentally knocked over on its side, the flat edges of the hexagon act as a "brake," preventing it from rolling off the lab bench. This significantly reduces the risk of breakage and chemical spills.
- Superior Stability: The six-point contact area provides a more stable footprint. This makes the cylinder less likely to tip over when it is filled to capacity or when using a tall, narrow version (like a 10ml or 25ml cylinder).
- Ease of Handling: The angular shape provides a better grip when moving the cylinder or when wearing bulky laboratory gloves, as the edges offer tactile feedback that a smooth round base lacks.
Primary Applications
- Preparation of Standard Solutions: Used to measure solvents precisely when creating solutions of a specific molarity or normality.
- Analytical Chemistry: Essential for quantitative analysis where the volume of a sample or reagent directly impacts the final calculation of a concentration.
- Quality Control (QC) Testing: Widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and beverage industries to ensure products meet exact formulation specifications.
- Regulatory Compliance & Auditing: Since Class A cylinders come with Batch or Individual Certificates, they provide the necessary "paper trail" for ISO 17025 accredited labs and GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) environments.
- R&D and Synthesis: Used in research to accurately measure liquid reactants where the stoichiometric ratio is critical to the success of a chemical reaction.
Key Features
- Accuracy Class: Class A (Quality Grade), representing the highest level of precision with tight tolerance limits.
- Standard Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with DIN/ISO 4788 or IS:878 standards.
- Material: High-quality Borosilicate 3.3 glass, which is highly resistant to thermal shock and chemical attack.
- Calibration: Typically calibrated to contain (TC, In) at 27°C (or 20°C for ASTM versions).
- Certification: Usually supplied with an Individual Class 'A' Certificate or an optional NABL certificate for full traceability.
- Printing: High-contrast permanent Blue enamel markings (White or Amber enamel may be available).
- Stability: The sturdy hexagonal base ensures the cylinder stays upright and resists tipping or rolling.
- Pouring Spout: Designed with a non-drip spout for controlled and easy liquid transfer.
- Traceability: Class A cylinders are ideal for regulated industries (pharmaceuticals, medical labs) that require precise documentation and certified accuracy.
