Graduated cylinders and burettes can be used to accurately measure relatively small amounts of liquids; however, you can also use a pipette to collect a pre-determined small amount of liquid. Micropipettes can collect a measured volume of fluid between 1 and 1,000 microliters. The smallest pipette made as of April 2007 can collect liquid samples in zeptoliters
(measuring spoons--e.g., tablespoon, teaspoon, etc.).

∙ 13y agoA burette (also buret).
It is used to dispense known amounts of a liquid reagent in experiments for which precision is necessary, such as a titration experiment. Burettes are extremely accurate - a 50 cm3burette has a tolerance of 0.1 cm3 (class B) or 0.06 cm3 (class A).

What instrument measures atomic mass?
A very accurate mass spectrometer is needed.
What is the instrument that measures tsunami?
•Tides have been measured many different ways. •In the past, tides were measured with a floating ball in a pipe open to the water. As the water level moved up and down, the floating ball moved with the water level. The ball was connected to a recording device to record the tides. •Today, plastic pipes open to the water and sound waves to measure the water height. The travel time of the sound waves in water can be determined very precisely, giving very accurate measurements of the water height over very short times (many times a second). In deep water, we uses pressure sensors on the bottom of the ocean to measure the water height. •More water above the pressure sensor results in more pressure on the sensor. Pressure can also be measured very precisely.
Used to measure volume very precisely?
For liquids, graduated cylinders are precise. Take the reading below the meniscus.
What can one measure with a marine chronometer?
A marine chronometer measures time. It is a very precise instrument because it can also be used to measure the longitude of the ship at sea using the time shown and the angle of the sun.
What is used to measure bone density?
A very common instrument for the direct measurement of the density of a liquid is the hydrometer, which measures the volume displaced by an object of known mass. A common laboratory device for measuring fluid density is apycnometer; a related device for measuring the absolute density of a solid is a gas pycnometer. Another instrument used to determine the density of a liquidor a gas is the digital density meter - based on the oscillating U-tube principle.
What is a object used to measure the volume very precisely?
Use a graduated cylinder to precisely measure volume
An instrument that measures very high temperatures.?
An instrument that measures very high temperatures is called a pyrometer. The most modern type of pyrometer measures thermal radiation through pyrometry.
What instrument measures very low temperatures?
hello
What type of instrument is a Theodolite?
A theodolite is a precision measuring instrument used to measure angles in the horizontal or vertical plane. The instrument is mounted on a tripod and should be very precisely placed in order to make correct measurements.
What instrument measures atomic mass?
A very accurate mass spectrometer is needed.
Do graduated cylinders measure volume more precisely than beakers?
Yes they do; and, very much more so.
What is the volume of a box that measures 4 centimeters on each side?
very simple.....64cubic cms
What is the unit of measurement in spherometer?
A spherometer is an instrument for the precise measurement of the radius of a sphere. The spherometer directly measures a sagittal. Since the spherometer is essentially a type of micrometer, it measures very small things like millimeters.
What is a banjolele?
A banjolele is a stringed instrument that combines the ukulele with the banjo. It provides more volume than a standard ukulele and was very popular in vaudeville.

How a tympanic membrane thermometer measures body temperature?
An instrument that measures temperaature in the ear.
