Plastic Measuring Jug
Free!
A plastic measuring jug is a translucent, shatter-safe container with printed graduations, a sturdy handle, and a drip-reducing spout. It’s used for quick, reliable measuring and pouring of liquids in labs, clinics, food prep, and maintenance work. Buyers pick it for durability, easy reading, and clean, controlled transfers—ideal for everyday mixing and dilution without the breakage risk or weight of glass.
Description
A plastic measuring jug is a lightweight, shatter-safe vessel for mixing, measuring, and pouring liquids in labs, clinics, workshops, and food prep areas. Molded from chemical-resistant plastics such as polypropylene, it offers a translucent body for easy meniscus reading, a sturdy handle for one-handed control, and a drip-reducing spout for clean transfers. Clearly printed graduations—often in liters and milliliters—support quick volume checks during routine work.
Features and benefits:
• Durable, break-resistant plastic suited to everyday use
• Translucent walls with high-contrast, easy-read graduations
• Ergonomic handle and anti-drip spout for smooth, accurate pouring
• Flat, stable base that resists tipping on benches and trolleys
• Wide mouth for fast filling and easy cleaning
• Available in multiple capacities; many models nest to save storage space
• Compatible with common lab cleaners; many polypropylene jugs tolerate steam sterilization at standard autoclave temperatures
Typical applications:
• Solution prep, buffer dilution, and reagent mixing in laboratories
• Decanting disinfectants and detergents in healthcare and housekeeping
• Batch mixing in cosmetics, food, and beverage pilot runs
• Measuring coolants, oils, or water in garages and workshops
• Field use where glass breakage is a concern
Comparison guidance:
• Versus glass jugs: safer handling and lower replacement cost, with slightly lower heat tolerance.
• Versus measuring cylinders: faster filling and pouring; cylinders offer tighter volumetric accuracy.
Select a capacity and graduation interval that match your precision needs. Where food contact or specific sterilization methods are required, choose materials verified for those uses and follow local regulations.
