Full title and description
ISO 4788:2005 — Laboratory glassware — Graduated measuring cylinders. International Standard specifying dimensions, materials, constructional and metrological requirements for graduated measuring cylinders (tall form: Type 1a and 1b; squat form: Type 2) intended for general laboratory use.
Abstract
Specifies the dimensional, material, constructional and metrological requirements for graduated measuring cylinders of tall form (Type 1a and 1b) and squat form (Type 2). The standard aligns these requirements with the principles for volumetric glassware design given in ISO 384 and is intended for general laboratory use.
General information

- Publication date: May 2005 (Edition 2).
- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 17.060 (Laboratory equipment and glassware).
- Edition / version: Edition 2 (2005).
- Number of pages: 6.
Scope
Applies to graduated measuring cylinders of tall form (Types 1a and 1b) and squat form (Type 2). Defines dimensional limits, permitted materials and constructional features, graduation and marking requirements, and metrological performance (accuracy/tolerances) for general laboratory use; specifications are given in accordance with the principles in ISO 384.
Key topics and requirements
- Classification of cylinders by form: tall (Type 1a, 1b) and squat (Type 2).
- Required dimensional limits and nominal capacities.
- Material and constructional requirements to ensure suitability for laboratory use.
- Graduation design, marking and legibility requirements and metrological performance (permitted volumetric error/tolerances).
- Conformity with general principles for volumetric instruments as set out in ISO 384.
Typical use and users
Used by laboratory technicians and scientists, manufacturers of laboratory glassware, quality assurance and compliance teams, procurement specialists and standards bodies to specify, produce, verify and purchase graduated measuring cylinders for routine laboratory measurement tasks.
Related standards
ISO 384 (principles of design and construction of volumetric instruments) is the primary related standard referenced by ISO 4788. ISO 4788:2005 replaces the earlier ISO 4788:1980 and is commonly adopted as an EN/ national adoption (e.g., BS EN, DIN EN versions) in regional standards catalogues.
