Glassware Burets Pipets Volumetric flask

Volumetric flasks are carefully calibrated to contain a given volume of liquid at a given temperature when filled to the calibration mark on the neck. The flasks are usually accurate to four significant digits. It is imperative that volumetric glassware be scrupulously clean. Wash volumetric flasks with soap and water, rinse several times with tap water, and rinse at least 5 times with small portions of distilled water ( mL each) delivered from the wash bottle, taking care to wash around the neck.

Pipets

The most common pipet used in the analytical chemistry lab is the volumetric pipette. Volumes commonly range from mL to mL. Each volumetric pipette has a calibration mark around the neck. Many pipettes are marked with the temperature at which they were calibrated, and some are marked with the time in seconds in which they should drain.

Buret

Burets Buret Burets, like pipettes, are calibrated to deliver a measured volume. This volume is controlled through the use of some type of valve, which may be a teflon or glass stopcock or, in the case of the Mohr buret, a piece of rubber tubing containing a glass bead. Commonly, the capacity of the buret is mL. Calibration marks are given for each 0.1 mL, so that the buret may be read to the nearest 0.01 mL.
