Imhoff Cone
Product Code: 0512
The Imhoff Cone is a precision 1,000 mL sedimentation cone designed for determining the volume of settleable solids in water and wastewater samples. Manufactured from transparent polymethylpentene (PMP), it provides excellent chemical resistance, optical clarity, and impact resistance while eliminating the breakage concerns associated with traditional glass Imhoff cones. The cone is widely used in wastewater treatment plants, environmental laboratories, aquaculture facilities, and water quality monitoring programs for rapid settleable solids analysis.
Fully graduated cone made of styrene-acrylonitrile. It features a low density plug which makes it easy to withdraw sediment. Markings are incremented as follows: 0 to 1 ml by 0.1 ml, 1 to 10 ml by 0.5 ml, 10 to 40 ml by 1.0 ml, 40 to 100 ml by 2 ml, and markings at 250, 500, and 1000 ml.
Key Features:
- 1-liter capacity meets the requirements of standard settleable solids testing procedures.
- Crystal-clear PMP construction provides excellent visibility while being significantly more impact-resistant than glass.
- Fine graduations near the cone tip allow accurate measurement of low sediment volumes.
- Autoclavable for repeated laboratory use and easy sterilization.
- Excellent chemical resistance for environmental and wastewater testing applications.
- Compatible with single or multiple cone support racks for simultaneous sample analysis.
- Lightweight construction simplifies handling during routine laboratory testing.
