Full details
The Sealey 1000ml Measuring Cylinder is an essential tool for automotive technicians, laboratory staff, and DIY enthusiasts who require precise, controlled liquid transfer for vehicle maintenance or scientific tasks. Its high-quality polypropylene construction ensures excellent chemical resistance and durability for repeated use in demanding environments. While its robust plastic design makes it significantly more impact-resistant than glass alternatives, users should note that it is not suitable for extremely high-temperature applications or highly aggressive concentrated solvents that might degrade polypropylene over time.

FAQs
Is this measuring cylinder dishwasher safe?
While polypropylene is heat resistant to a degree, we recommend hand washing with a mild detergent to preserve the longevity of the graduation markings.
Can I use this for measuring fuels like petrol?
Polypropylene is generally resistant to many chemicals, but it is not recommended for long-term storage of fuels. Always clean the cylinder immediately after contact with fuels.
What is the graduation increment?
The cylinder typically features clear increments, but users should verify the specific markings printed on their unit as they are designed for standard lab-grade liquid transfer.
Is the material BPA free?
Yes, high-quality polypropylene is generally considered safe and free from BPA.
Does it come with a lid?
No, this model is designed as an open-top measuring cylinder for active transferring and pouring tasks.
Can I use this with boiling water?
Polypropylene can withstand warm water, but it is not designed to handle boiling liquids; avoid temperatures exceeding 80-90 degrees Celsius.
Troubleshooting
Graduation markings are difficult to read after heavy use.
Clean the exterior thoroughly with a mild detergent and soft cloth; if the marks appear faded, ensure the surface is free from oil or grease film.
The cylinder slides or feels unstable on a slick metal workbench.
Ensure the work surface is clean and dry. Placing the cylinder on a rubber mat can provide extra grip and stability.
