Container Sizes

The default container size for CANNON viscosity standards is a 0.5 L (pint) bottle but other container sizes are also available. The table below indicates a suffix that is appended to the base catalog number in order to designate a particular container size when ordering. For example: the catalog number/suffix combination for an N35 General Purpose Standard (catalog #9727-C37) in a 1 liter container (suffix #.032) is 9727-C37.032.
