A glass measuring cylinder commonly used in school laboratories typically has the following features:
Material: Made of borosilicate glass, which is durable and resistant to thermal shock.
Capacity: Available in various sizes, such as10ml,25ml,50ml, 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, and 1000 ml (1 liter) and 2000ml.
