This is a 50ml grinding jar made from Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ), designed for planetary ball mills. The small capacity and specific dimensions (D50 x H60 mm) indicate its use for highly specialized, small-scale applications.


This is a small-scale, high-precision size. It's used for applications where the sample material is:
As with the 500ml jar, this specifies the highest grade of zirconia.
Benefits: Exceptional wear resistance, extreme hardness, superb fracture toughness, and excellent chemical inertness.
Importance for Small Jars: In a small jar, the surface-area-to-volume ratio is higher, making the purity and non-reactivity of the jar material even more critical to prevent contamination.
D50: The internal diameter is 50 mm. This is a compact size, suitable for smaller planetary mills or multiple jars on a single mill disc.
H60: The internal height is 60 mm.
Why this matters: This small, specific form factor is essential for fitting the mounting systems of compatible mills. Using an incorrectly sized jar is impossible and unsafe.
The description says "Jars" (plural). It is common to purchase these small jars in a set (e.g., 2 or 4 jars) to maximize the use of a milling run. You can process multiple different materials or formulations simultaneously.
| Feature | 50ml Y-Stabilized Zirconia Jar | 500ml Y-Stabilized Zirconia Jar | 2500ml Zirconia Jar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 50 ml (Micro-scale, precious samples) | 500 ml (Standard R&D) | 2500 ml (Scale-up, production) |
| Primary Use | R&D on expensive/rare materials, parallel testing. | General R&D, method development. | Producing larger batches, process scaling. |
| Throughput | High (multiple jars at once). | Medium (typically 1-2 jars per run). | Low (typically 1 jar per run). |
| Sample Loss | Minimal (high recovery). | Moderate. | Can be significant if sample is small. |
| Cost Factor | Lower cost per jar, but often bought in sets. | Moderate cost per jar. | High initial investment per jar. |
