Its consists of a vessel and a overflow in order to fix the exact volume.

It is available in two capacities: 50 or 100 cc, with or without tare for balanced measurements.

2.-Remove the top and fill the container at 1/10 inches from the edge with the material that is going to be tested.

3.-Put the top back on carefully in order to expel air and excess material through the ventilation hole.
