Maximize the lifespan of your critical laboratory instrumentation and eliminate accidental breakage with Heathrow Scientific PVC Hydrometer Storage Cases (66CS Series). Specifically engineered to protect fragile, high-precision glass hydrometers when not in active use, these heavy-duty storage tubes act as a rigid structural barrier against crushing, bending, and drops during transport or drawer storage.
Manufactured from thick, impact-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), these cases will not warp or degrade over time. The opaque white design shields sensitive internal thermometer fluids from extended light exposure, while the secure-fitting end caps ensure the hydrometer remains tightly contained. Available in multiple internal lengths (from 6.5 inches up to 16.5 inches), researchers can easily select the exact case size required to perfectly house their specific specific gravity, Baumé, or API hydrometers.
Features & Benefits
- Rigid PVC Construction: Provides superior impact protection compared to standard cardboard packaging, preventing catastrophic glass shattering.
- Secure End Caps: Friction-fit caps seal the tube tightly to prevent the hydrometer from sliding out during transit.
- Chemical Resistance: The PVC body easily wipes clean if accidentally exposed to residual lab chemicals or benchtop spills.
- Universal Compatibility: Multiple interior lengths ensure a snug fit for almost all standard-sized laboratory hydrometers.
