3-Piece Plastic Graduated Cylinder Set — 100, 250 & 500 ml Lab Cylinders
Product description
Crafted from Class A tolerance translucent polymer, these cylinders combine durability with easy care. The raised graduation lines are marked in 1 ml increments, with heavier marks at every 10 ml for quick reference. Optical clarity is good for routine measurements.
Each cylinder sits on a hexagonal base that maximizes stability on flat surfaces. The 500 ml unit measures 13.6 in (345 mm) tall with a 2.6 in (65 mm) diameter, the 250 ml is 11.8 in (300 mm) by 1.97 in (50 mm), and the 100 ml is 9.57 in (243 mm) by 1.54 in (39 mm), covering small to mid-range volumes.
Manufactured from research-grade polypropylene, the cylinders are lightweight, non-toxic and odorless. The material offers excellent resistance to many chemicals and can be sterilized in an autoclave for cleaning between uses.
Clear, two-sided scales make reading the meniscus easier and the cylinders are compatible with common lab tools such as syringes, pipettes and test tubes. They are suitable for measuring liquids and solids in educational labs, professional settings, home experiments and gardening tasks.
Backed by a satisfaction guarantee — damaged or defective items will be replaced — this set aims to provide reliable, everyday scientific measuring tools.
Pros
- Clear, raised 1 ml graduations with 10 ml marks
- Autoclavable and chemically resistant polypropylene
- Stable hexagonal base prevents tipping
Cons
- Slightly milky/translucent finish, not perfectly clear
- Plastic feels thinner than glass alternatives
- Not ideal for ultra-high precision volumetry
VerdictSolid, practical measuring cylinders for routine laboratory, classroom and home tasks. The three-piece set covers common volumes and the raised, two-sided graduations make readings straightforward. Built from research-grade polypropylene they are lightweight, chemically robust and autoclavable, though the finish is slightly milky and some may prefer thicker-walled or glass cylinders for high-preci

Clear and simple
Legible markings; I didn’t end up needing them.

Decent but feels light
Markings are easy to read and they work as expected, yet the walls seem a bit thin. For routine tasks they’re fine, but I expected a sturdier feel.

Not crystal-clear
They aren’t perfectly transparent — a slightly white cast — so I worried about spotting the meniscus. In practice the lines remain readable and they work fine.

Perfect for gardening measurements
Great for dosing plant nutrients — the two-sided scale and visible markings make accurate pours simple. Durable plastic means I can use them outdoors without worrying about breakage. Very useful for both garden and classroom tasks.
