Well, this disproves what I've read elsewhere, that plastic is not a suitable container as it disrupts the ultrasonic cleaning action. Thanks for the video.

Outstanding test run. I had no idea that it would matter at all. Having said that, It is very likely that it matters more WHERE in the tub you put the item to be cleaned. Note, the holes seem to be specific places and just a short distance away, no holes. Do a double test, using the same medium, for example glass and repeat the test a second time moving the container to one side about 1 cm. See if the hole moves the same 1 cm. I suspect it is a sonic wave converging in that spot to cause the hole and obviously more aggressive cleaning.

I would suggest the glass container only because it's heavier and is less likely to tip over. I’d also be worried that the plastic container would warp and buckle when you used heat; plastics not meant to be heated can warp at surprisingly low temperatures, and a container that warped could spill.

You should try a plastic bag. I usually use gas in my to clean small engine parts this way. Great video. :)

I have found using no container works faster overall. Depending on the size of what you are cleaning and what cleansing solvent you use it sometimes makes more sense to use a smaller container and using a longer cycle to achieve the desired result. Interesting test and great video!

They all seem to do the job, no matter the container

Very interesting test! Thank you

You should use a zip block bag.

Great question ❓ .main thing is keeping the inside of the ultra sonic cleaner clean as possible because they are not cheap

We always used glass/pyrex (I think it’s also called borosilicate glass) glassware in our ultrasonic baths in our laboratory with great results.

Thx a lot for testing and showing ! And again sth learned ! 😊😊😊

That was helpful, thanks a lot

Use pressies weight scale Next Is the container 🫙 size matter ?

what is the best product to use in the machine?

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota AJ

Now fill one container up with sodium hydroxide ;-)

Interesting stuff. Where does the residue go?

How many litres do your ultrasonic cleaner hold?

Every time I've seen someone use an ultrasonic cleaner with another container, they used a Pyrex dish. 🤷
