Arco Measuring Cylinder 100mL Class-A Hexagonal Base

The Arco Measuring Cylinder 100 mL Class-A Hexagonal Base is a precision, high-quality glassware instrument designed for accurate volume measurement in laboratory, educational, industrial, and research settings. This Class-A cylinder delivers excellent reliability, meeting stringent tolerance standards, and the hexagonal base adds stability, safety, and ease of handling.

Key Features & Benefits

Specifications (Typical / Expected)

• Material: Borosilicate glass (Type 3.3 or equivalent)
• Capacity: 100 mL
• Tolerance: ± 0.50 mL (or as per Class-A standard)
• Graduation subdivision: 1.0 mL increments
• Base: Hexagonal, wide for better stability
• Markings: Clear, white or blue (depending on model)
• Additional options: may include spout (for easy pouring), polypropylene stopper, or joint standard (if relevant)

Applications / Ideal Uses

• Analytical chemistry labs for preparing solutions with accurate volumes
• Educational labs (schools, colleges, universities) for teaching volumetric measurement
• Industrial quality control where precise liquid measurement is required
• Research and development laboratories
• Sample preparation in biotech, pharmaceutical, environmental, or chemical testing labs

How It Compares / Why Choose This

• Better Stability: The hexagonal base prevents rolling or accidental tipping, unlike round bases.
• Higher Accuracy: Class-A cylinders have tighter tolerances than Class-B ones, meaning less error.
• Durability: With borosilicate glass and permanent markings, this cylinder will last through regular lab use.
• Versatility: Works for a variety of liquids, and the size is convenient—bigger than say 50 mL for when more volume is needed, but not bulky like 250–500 mL versions.

Care & Usage Tips

• Always place it on a flat, stable surface when measuring
• Read the meniscus at eye level for accurate volume reading
• Wash gently using non-abrasive brushes and mild detergents
• Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., from cold water to flame) to prevent glass breakage
• Handle carefully, since glassware is fragile; inspect for cracks/chips before use
