Volumetric flask

To make a standard solution

A volumetric flask (measuring flask or graduated flask) is a piece of laboratory


apparatus, a type of laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise volume at a
certain temperature. Volumetric flasks are used for precise dilutions and preparation
of standard solutions. These flasks are usually pear-shaped, with a flat bottom, and made
of glass or plastic. The flask's mouth is either furnished with a plastic snap/screw cap or
fitted with a joint to accommodate a PTFE or glass stopper. The neck of volumetric flasks is
elongated and narrow with an etched ring graduation marking. The marking indicates the
volume of liquid contained when filled up to that point. The marking is typically calibrated "to
contain" (marked "TC" or "IN") at 20 °C and indicated correspondingly on a label. The flask's
label also indicates the nominal volume, tolerance, precision class, relevant manufacturing
standard and the manufacturer's logo. Volumetric flasks are of various sizes, containing from
1 milliliter to 20 liters of liquid.
Burette, clamp, iron stand

For doing titration

Burette clamp is a scientific equipment which used specifically to hold and secure
a burette on a stand, so that a burette is fixed and more convenient for the
experiment. Burette clamps can be made with many materials such as plastic and cast iron.
However, an iron clamp with a rubber knob to hold the burette are usually more durable.
Usually burette clamps come in doubles, which means they can hold two burettes.
Burettes can be held by varying methods, some including the ones suggested below. To use
a burette clamp, you should fix the burette clamp on a stand, squeeze the handle, and the
rubber knobs will separate from each other. The burette will then be put between the rubber
knobs. The rubber knobs are typically soft and sticky due to properties of rubber, so the
burettes are not likely to break or slip during the experiment.
In chemistry, a retort stand, also called a clamp stand, an iron stand,or a support stand,is
a piece of scientific equipment intended to support other pieces of equipment and
glassware for instance, burettes, test tubes and flasks.
The typical retort stand consists of a heavy base and a vertical rod, both usually made of metal.
A number of accessories, such as clamps of various types and iron rings, can be attached to the
rod by thumbscrews, at whatever heights and orientations are necessary to support the target
equipment. Burette clamp and iron stand usually used for doing titration.

Graduated cylinder

To measure the volume of liquid solution

A graduated cylinder, also known as a measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common


piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow
cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of
liquid that has been measured.
