Intermediate bulk containers (also known as IBC, IBC tote, or pallet tank) are industrial-grade containers engineered for the mass handling, transport, and storage of liquids, partial solids, pastes, granular solids [1] or other fluids. There are several types of IBCs with the two main categories being flexible IBCs and rigid IBCs. [2]
FIBCs are most often made of thick woven strands of oriented polypropylene, [4] either coated or uncoated, and normally measure around 45–48 inches (114–122 cm) in diameter and varies in height from 100 to 200 cm (39 to 79 inches). Its capacity is normally around 1,000 kg or 2,200 lb, but the larger units can store even more.

They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and are used for static storage and transport of both raw materials and finished chemical products. A chemical tank is of necessity designed for a specific chemical. Chemicals have variable corrosion potentials, so the size and features of chemical tanks are diverse. Chemical resistance is usually the ...
Laboratory flask sizes are specified by the volume they can hold, typically in metric units such as milliliters (mL or ml) or liters (L or l). Laboratory flasks have traditionally been made of glass , but can also be made of plastic .
For example, a motorized pipette controller can aid liquid aspiration or dispensing using volumetric pipettes or graduated pipettes; [13] a tablet can interact in real-time with the pipette and guide a user through a protocol; [14] and a pipette station can help to control the pipette tip immersion depth and improve ergonomics.
Graduated cylinders are often used to measure the volume of a liquid. Graduated cylinders are generally more accurate and precise than laboratory flasks and beakers , but they should not be used to perform volumetric analysis ; [ 3 ] volumetric glassware, such as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipette , should be used, as it is even more ...
