Lab reagent buckets are not chemical glassware. They are storage and working packaging: labs keep dry reagents from an opened sack in them, along with pre-weighed portions and grain, soil, and raw material samples, while jerry cans hold distilled water and solutions. Here we look at which HTI Group sizes suit factory, agrochemical, and food labs, as well as school and university chemistry classrooms in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and what we don't claim about our packaging.
The table shows measured data only: dimensions, empty weight, units per pallet, handle, and body. The first column links to the size page, and the second names the task this packaging is usually bought for. For buckets and the container we give the opening diameter and height; for jerry cans, all three dimensions.
| Empty weight | Task | Dimensions, mm | Empty weight | Units per pallet | Body and handle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 385 ml | retained samples of finished products | Ø 118 × | 16 g | 7,200 | round container, no handle |
| 560 ml | salt and soda portions for lab classes | Ø 118 × | 23 g | 7,200 | side lugs instead of a handle |
| 1 L | field soil samples | Ø 132,5 × | 36 g | 6,480 | plastic handle |
| 3 L | composite grain or feed sample | Ø 200 × | 95 g | 2,800 | metal bail handle |
| 5.6 L | dry reagent from an opened sack | Ø 224 × | 156 g | 1,920 | metal bail handle, clear option |
| 11.5 L | dry reagent storage stock | Ø 295 × | 307 g | 816 | metal bail with plastic grip, clear option |
| 5 L | distilled water at the workbench | 163 × | 240 g | 180 | molded-in handle, screw cap |
| 10 L | water or working solution stock | 201 × | 420 g | 100 | molded-in handle, screw cap |
The 385 ml container and the 560 ml bucket share the same 118 mm opening but differ in height, 54 and 80 mm, so they line up in one row in a cabinet. A 5 L jerry can full of water weighs about 5.24 kg including the packaging, and a 10 L one about 10.42 kg. You tip the first over a graduated cylinder with one hand; the second stays on the floor or a bottom shelf.

The tool covers eight situations, from salt portions for lab classes to a distilled water supply. Click yours to see the item to scale with the figures from its table row. That way you know in advance whether the bucket fits on a reagent cabinet shelf and whether a measuring scoop fits through the opening.
The rows come from this page's table: each one has its own packaging.
We ship in full pallets, so the number of pallets is rounded up.

296 mmWe have no resistance charts for individual substances, and third-party reference tables are unreliable: plastic grades and storage conditions differ everywhere. A short in-house test is more dependable. All it takes is a scale and a logbook, and the answer applies to your reagent and your storeroom.
Labs like certainty, so let's start with what you can check by eye and with a ruler. These features are just as useful to a dairy plant QC department in Kara-Balta, an agrochemical lab in Kostanay, and a chemistry teacher at a village school near Osh. Read the fourth card before your first purchase, not after.

In a clear bucket, the remaining reagent is visible from the storeroom door: no need to lift the lid to decide whether it's time to reorder salt or sorbent. Lumps, foreign particles, and color changes also show through the wall. We make a clear body for any bucket size, so the approach works for large storage stock too.
Removing the lid for the first time leaves a trace: you have to break the OPEN tear strip under the rim. For a lab, that's a simple sign of unopened packaging. Untouched stock stands out from a working bucket at a glance, and samples from the production floor or a grain elevator are accepted without arguing over whether they were opened on the way. After that, you reclose the bucket with the same lid.
The smooth bucket wall takes a self-adhesive label, and the jerry can has a flat front panel for one. Write whatever your lab procedures require: substance name, concentration, preparation date, technician's name, sample number. Lids get mixed up during washing, so the main label goes on the body.
We make no claims about resistance to specific acids, alkalis, solvents, or oxidizers: our buckets and containers are molded from polypropylene as food packaging, not as labware. Each lab checks reagent compatibility with the material on its own, using a trial batch. Aggressive and volatile substances stay in the manufacturer's packaging and are stored according to the institution's regulations.
We ship in full pallets, and a single lab doesn't need that much: one pallet holds 7,200 buckets of 560 ml or 180 jerry cans of 5 L. So the order is usually placed by a company's procurement department, a lab network, or a supplier of reagents or educational equipment, which then distributes the packaging to each site. Pallets of different items can be combined in one shipment. The factory warehouse is in Ak-Chiy village, in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ). You can collect your order with your own vehicle, and our own delivery trucks cover Bishkek and the Chuy Region. Pallets travel to Osh, Karakol, or Naryn with a freight carrier, and to Almaty, Astana, and Kostanay by the pallet within the EAEU. Our sales manager will confirm delivery time and cost.

IML vs labelsEight scenarios and a clear answer on how to label a bucketMaterial and labeling · 6 minIt depends on the substance. Neutral dry reagents, sorbents, and raw material samples are often kept in polypropylene buckets. But we don't claim resistance to specific substances, so the lab first runs a trial storage test and records the result. Aggressive substances stay in the manufacturer's packaging.
For portions, small sizes work well: 560 ml with a 118 mm opening and the 1 L bucket with a plastic handle. Working stock from an opened sack fits nicely in a 5.6 L bucket, storage stock in an 11.5 L one; both come in clear. How many kilograms fit depends on the substance's bulk density, which you find out by weighing.
In jerry cans: there are two, 5 and 10 L, both with a molded-in handle and a screw cap. The 5 L can sits on the bench next to the sink, and the 10 L one, 296 mm tall, goes under it. We make no claims about how long water keeps its required quality in this packaging: the lab monitors that with its own methods.
We don't claim the buckets are suitable for this and provide no test data for acids or alkalis. Concentrated and volatile substances fall under the lab's own rules and the reagent manufacturer's requirements: special packaging, a fume hood, and separate storage.
Look under the lid rim: the OPEN tear strip should be there. You can't remove the lid for the first time without tearing it off, and it can't be put back. Labs rely on this when samples are passed from production to the lab and when tracking stock: untouched buckets are kept apart from opened ones.
Yes, we make medical waste buckets for this. A yellow body means Class B waste and a red one Class C (by Kyrgyz sanitary classification). They have a plastic handle, and some sizes come with a lid with needle remover. The buckets in this article are not used for medical waste: there, the color itself serves as the marking.
A pallet holds 6,480 buckets of 1 L, and we ship in full pallets, which is a lot for one school. It works better when the order is placed by an educational equipment supplier, a district education department, or several schools together. Message a sales manager with the sizes you need.
Each item in the catalog lists its dimensions, weight, and units per pallet, which is enough to plan your cabinet shelves before ordering. Also check out clear buckets and the jerry cans section: that's where labs usually start.
Send our sales manager a list of what you plan to store: dry or liquid, how much you use per month, and where the packaging will stand. They'll suggest sizes for a trial batch. Compatibility with a specific reagent is still yours to test.
