Lab Tools Used To Measure Volume

Tools used to measure the volume of a liquid beakers and flasks.

Lab tools used to measure volume.

Graduated cylinders are transparent cylinders with finely divided markings otherwise known as. Beakers and erlenmeyer flasks can be used to make coarse measurements of volumes provided that. Used to hold specimens for observation and to grow cultures. One meter 10 dm or 100 cm or 1000 mm.

Aids in pouring liquids into small openings without spilling them. A hydrometer is a special device used to determine the density of liquids. A burette is a cylindrical laboratory glass apparatus that is used to measure the volume of liquids. For a burette to perform optimally and give precise results it must be properly cleaned.

The user reads the volume from the bottom of the meniscus the curve at the surface of the liquid. It is very accurate and is used for precision experiments such as titration. Without further ado let s take a look. Beakers and flasks beakers and erlenmeyer flasks are some of the most often used equipment in a science lab.

A graduated cylinder is one instrument used to measure volume. Rather than measuring the volume in a graduated cylinder and then needing to weigh the liquid to determine its mass and of course subtracting the weight of its container a hydrometer will float at a different level within a liquid based on its density. Like the name suggests this type of glassware. Graduated cylinders are available in several sizes.
