Calibration of Burette
Calibration of Burette
¨ Take
already washed, dried and cool beaker and put it on the balance and tare it.
¨ Take
Distilled water in another beaker and record its temperature using calibrated
thermometer.
¨ Take
an already washed, cleaned, dried and cooled pipette and fill it with Distilled
water accurately up to the mark.
¨ Transfer
the whole volume of Distilled water to the beaker
¨ Note
down the weight of distilled water as “W”
¨ Now
determine the volume in ml using following formula
¨ Volume
(in ml) = weight (in gm.)
¨ 0.997
¨ 0.997
is density of distilled water at 25oC.
¨ Repeat
the process for 3 times to attain consistent results.
¨ Variation
in volume can be calculate using following equation
¨ Volume
Variation (+ml) = Theoretical volume – Actual volume
Tolerance Limit
¨ Glass
type: Class A
Capacity (in ml): 10 25 50
Tolerance (+ ml): 0.01 0.03 0.05
Frequency
¨ Calibration is carried out when a new
glass ware is purchased. If %age deviation is greater than the claimed value,
glass ware would not be able to use for analytical purpose and should be
returned to the supplier.
