60ml Syringe

Description

60ml Syringe with 1ml Graduations

The 60ml syringe is one of the easiest ways of measuring out small quantities of plant foods and boosters is to use a syringe with accurate volume markings. This 60 millilitre syringe can be re-used many, many times and is marked with 1ml graduations for accurate measuring.

• Easy to use
• Measures up 60ml of plant food or boosters
• Made of quality plastic and rubber
• Re-usable many times
• Accurate markings in 1ml graduations

60ml Syringe Contains:

1 x Syringe with accurate marking up to 60 millilitre’s in 1ml Graduations

How the 60ml Syringe works:

The 60ml syringe with 1ml graduations is a small nozzle ended plastic tube containing a rubber-ended plunger. The tube has markings in 1ml graduations for accurate measurement. When the nozzle end is placed in a liquid and the plunger is pulled out, the syringe will suck the liquid into the tube and the markings show how much liquid has been drawn out.

The nozzle end of the syringe can then be taken out of the liquid and the surface tension in the nozzle will retain the liquid inside the tube, preventing it from dripping out. The measured amount of liquid can then be added to a reservoir by simply pressing the rubber-ended plunger back down.

Using the 60ml Syringe.

The 60ml Syringe with 1ml Graduations can be used in the above manner to measure out almost all types of liquid. The syringe can be re-used many times but we strongly advise rinsing the inside and outside of the syringe with water in-between measuring out different liquids to prevent cross-contamination of your plant-food bottles.

Syringes are not suitable for measuring out pH adjustment products (pH down acid and pH up alkalis) because they are very caustic by nature and will perish the rubber seal on the end of the plunger very quickly, drastically reducing the lifespan of the syringe.

For pH adjustment products we would recommend the use of one of our pipettes instead. Syringes may also be difficult to use with very thick and viscous liquids because they will resist being sucked up through the small nozzle. For viscous liquids we would generally recommend a measuring beaker instead.
