Product Description

I. Overview

The plastic measuring cup is a versatile tool for liquid measurement, mixing, and storage in the laboratory. Manufactured from high-clarity polypropylene (PP) or polymethylpentene (PMP) through precision injection molding, featuring high clarity, smooth surface, and clear graduations.

Available in lidded, open, and conical styles. Lidded measuring cups feature leak-proof sealing caps for liquid storage and transport; open measuring cups are classic and versatile for routine measurement and mixing; conical graduated cylinders are designed for precision measurement with a tapered body for easy meniscus viewing. Capacities range from 25ml to 5000ml.

Compared to glass, plastic measuring cups are shatterproof and safer to use, and autoclavable. Suitable for teaching labs, routine chemical analysis, solution preparation, sample storage, and more.

🔬 Style Comparison:
Lidded Cups — Leak-proof sealing cap for storage, transport, and long-term preservation. Prevents evaporation and contamination.
Open Cups — Classic design for routine measurement, mixing, and transfer. Convenient access.
Conical Graduated Cylinders — Tapered body for clearer meniscus viewing. Ideal for precision measurement and lab operations.

II. Core Performance Parameters

Selection Guide

I. By Style

Application	Recommended Style	Reason
Liquid storage, transport, long-term preservation	Lidded	Leak-proof seal prevents evaporation and contamination
Routine measurement, mixing, transfer	Open	Classic design, convenient access
Precision measurement, lab operations	Conical	Tapered body for easier meniscus viewing

II. By Capacity

25ml / 50ml / 100ml: Micro liquid measurement, precision work (conical)
250ml / 300ml / 500ml: Routine liquid measurement (most common)
1000ml / 2000ml: Large volume measurement, solution preparation
3000ml / 5000ml: Bulk liquid storage, industrial applications

💡 Selection Tip: 500ml open measuring cup is the most commonly used size.
For liquid storage or transport, choose lidded cups.
For precision measurement, choose conical cups.
For high-temperature measurement or sterilization, choose PMP material.

Operation & Maintenance

User Guide

Below are standard operating guidelines for plastic measuring cups. Proper use ensures measurement accuracy and product longevity.

I. Pre-use Preparation

Inspect for cracks or deformation
Rinse with distilled or deionized water and air dry
Confirm material compatibility with the liquid
Place the cup on a level surface

II. Measurement Operation

Pour the liquid slowly along the inner wall
Wait for the meniscus to stabilize before reading
Read with eye level aligned with the meniscus bottom
Read to 1/10 of the smallest graduation
Transfer or discard the liquid after measurement
Clean and air dry immediately after use

III. Cleaning & Maintenance

Clean promptly after use and air dry
Stubborn residues: use mild neutral detergent, rinse with distilled water
Never use hard brushes or abrasives on the inner wall
Do not store corrosive reagents long-term
Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight

💡 From a Seasoned Lab Technician: "Read at eye level" — Align your eye with the meniscus bottom for accurate readings.
"Lidded cups prevent evaporation" — For volatile liquids, use lidded measuring cups.
"Conical for precision" — For precise measurement, conical cups offer clearer meniscus viewing.
"Do not heat — use PMP if heating is needed" — Regular cups are not heat-resistant; choose PMP for heated measurements.
