Different types of glassware and their uses (2)
Glassware for Measurement:
Graduated Cylinder: It is used when you need to measure liquid volume semi-precisely. More accurate than a beaker or flask graduated cylinders, they measure delivery volume.
Volumetric glassware: When you need to make high precision solutions, you will require volumetric glassware to get precision to four significant figures. They can be volumetric flasks which have an etched mark on its neck that shows the high precision volume at the specified temperature.
Pipettes: These are also measuring volumetric glassware used to dispense liquids and is considered one of the most precise measuring labware. The solution is drawn within the pipette with the help of a pipette bulb. You even have micropipettes when you are dealing with very minute quantities ranging from 1microlitre to 1,000microlitres.
Burettes: These are typically needed in analytical chemistry during titration experiments.
