Different shaped measuring cylinders ?

Question

Are there plastic measuring cylinders available (2L capacity) in different shapes from the standard round cross section? I am looking for rectangular or square cross section in different widths and therefore heights to acheive the volume of 2L?

Answer 1

Cylinder assumes a round cross-section.  

As far as containers which can be used to measure, sure!  Go to Target and see what they have available as far as liquid drink containers.  I think Rubbermaid makes a good variety of them in various shapes and most of them have measuring marks on the side.  In the US they'll be marked for quarts, but if you remember that 1gal=3.8L, then you should be fine.

Answer 2

Well standard are cone shaped, round bottom, spherical ones other than there i dont thing they are available, so why dont you prepare your own???
