They commonly come in 1, 2, 3, and 5 ml which comes with a specific drop size of 10, 20, 25, 35, and 50 μL. [7] The volumes are usually marked on the stem, though the markings are rather crude and are not particularly accurate. [8] A plastic dropper is relatively inexpensive and disposable, so they are often used to avoid cross-contamination.
Dropper funnels, also called dropping funnels or tap funnels, have a tap to allow the controlled release of a liquid. A flat funnel, [3] made of polypropylene, utilises living hinges and flexible walls to fold flat. The term "funnel" may refer to the chimney or smokestack on a steam locomotive and commonly refers to the same on a ship.
Small rubber bulbs attached to glass and plastic rods, used as dropper. The smaller rubber bulbs are well suited with small pipettes to draw smaller amount of reagents and can attach to both glass, as well as plastic rods. They are very commonly used for droppers as small sized rubber bulbs help control the amount of drops more precisely.
cylindrical type graduated and ungraduated with cone and socket; with pressure equalizing tube; pear shaped, graduated and ungraduated; Pressure-equalizing dropping funnels have an additional narrow-bore glass tube from the bulb of the funnel, to the ground glass joint around the stem.

Typical sizes are between 30 mL and 3 L. In industrial chemistry they can be much larger and for much larger volumes centrifuges are used. The sloping sides are designed to facilitate the identification of the layers. The tap-controlled outlet is designed to drain the liquid out of the funnel.
In the United Kingdom, subsequent to the adoption of the minim and the creation of the British imperial system of units in the 1820s, a drop is defined as 1 British imperial minim, [3] the equivalence of 1 / 60 of a British imperial fluid drachm or 1 / 480 of a British imperial fluid ounce.
Caged IBC totes are thermoplastic blow-mold engineered, often, from virgin high-density polyethylene , a BPA free, strong plastic. Caged tote engineering is a top port inlet with cap for filling of cargo (commonly 6") with a bottom discharge outlet port--common is 2" ball valves --and an integrated pallet base skid for maneuvering the IBC.
