This guide explains the best methods for undertaking the measurement of volume, one of the most frequent operations in the laboratory. It is required when obtaining a known quantity of a sample for analysis; for preparation of analytical reagents; and for preparation of calibration standards and quantitative analysis by titrimetry. After an initial section covering the units of volume and other terminology, the various types of volume measuring apparatus are then described. Later sections cover the importance of temperature, calibration, accuracy and use of the different types of apparatus,...
