A burette is a device designed to accurately measure the volume of a liquid or transfer it into another container. It consists of two glass or plastic tubes, one of which ends in a funnel, and the other is closed with a stopper. Burettes are usually made of dark glass and have graduations that allow the volume of liquid to be determined with an accuracy of a few milliliters.
What is a burette used for? First, it allows chemical or biological reactions to be carried out at specific concentrations without the need for a thermometer or digital sensor. Burettes are also used to determine various volumes of liquids and dilute them, which is often used in laboratory research. Burettes come in a variety of sizes, densities, lengths and shapes, making them suitable for use in a variety of conditions. In addition, some burettes have a calibration mark that makes it possible to automatically measure the volume of reagent used.
There are several types of burettes, differing in the way they are mounted and operated, but most have a cover to protect them from external influences such as dust or insects
