2. Wedgwood scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedgwood_scale

   A device for converting the diameter of the annealed clay cylinder into the Wedgwood temperature. A 0.5-inch-diameter cylinder made from pipe clay was dried at the temperature of boiling water. This would prepare it for heating in the oven in which the temperature was to be measured.

3. Graduated cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduated_cylinder

   For accuracy the volume on graduated cylinders is depicted on scales with 3 significant digits: 100mL cylinders have 1ml grading divisions while 10mL cylinders have 0.1 mL grading divisions. Two classes of accuracy exist for graduated cylinders. Class A has double the accuracy of class B. [4] Cylinders can have single or double scales. Single ...

4. Sphere packing in a cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_packing_in_a_cylinder

   Sphere packing in a cylinder is a three-dimensional packing problem with the objective of packing a given number of identical spheres inside a cylinder of specified diameter and length. For cylinders with diameters on the same order of magnitude as the spheres, such packings result in what are called columnar structures .

5. Capsule (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule_(geometry)

   A two-dimensional orthographic projection at the left with a three-dimensional one at the right depicting a capsule. A capsule (from Latin capsula, "small box or chest"), or stadium of revolution, is a basic three-dimensional geometric shape consisting of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. [1]

6. Glass tube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_tube

   In order to create hollow objects from glass the cylinder shape is a natural starting material. Cylindrical glass tubes have: the lowest surface area and most compact design; highest mechanical strength against pressure and impact; automated further processing due to symmetry. [2] Compared to moulded glass where the process of tube drawing ...

7. Float glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_glass

   Most window glass in the early 19th century was made using the cylinder method. The 'cylinders' were 6 to 8 feet (180 to 240 cm) long and 10 to 14 inches (25 to 36 cm) in diameter, limiting the width that panes of glass could be cut, and resulting in windows divided by transoms into rectangular panels.
