Key Features & Notes
-
Because it uses a glass stopcock, care must be taken: the glass‐on‐glass seal may need lubrication (depending on manufacturer) to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizure. Some manufacturers may fill the stopcock bore with grease.
-
The “straight bore” means the stopcock interior is a straight passage rather than needle or coned channels; this gives less flow resistance, suitable for titrations where smooth flow is desirable.
-
Class A burettes offer greater precision (tighter tolerances) than Class B; choose based on required accuracy of your work.
-
Always ensure that the burette is vertical, free of bubbles, and the meniscus reading is done at eye-level for best accuracy. (General burette use principles)
