Lab Measuring Cup
The function of the Lab Measuring Cup is as a liquid volume measuring device that does not require high accuracy, for example reagents / reagents for qualitative chemical analysis or for the manufacture of secondary standard solutions in titrimetric / volumetric analysis. There are various sizes of this measuring cup, ranging from 5 mL to 2 liters. Measuring cup is a device that is used to measure the volume of a solution that looks like a funnel or glass that has a milliliter size that varies.
Lab Measuring Cups are made of polypropylene because of good chemical resistance or polymethylpentene for transparency, this makes the glass lighter but more fragile than glass, so it should not be used to measure solvents / solvents in hot conditions. Pay attention to the meniscus at the time of reading the scale. The difference between measuring cups and beakers is, measuring cups as a measuring instrument while the beaker is a storage device. Proper use of these two beakers will really help you in the laboratory.
How to use the Lab Measuring Cup
There are several things that need to be considered when measuring with this tool, such as:
To measure the volume of a colorless solution, you must pay attention to the bottom concave meniscus limit. The measuring cup must be placed in a flat area and the meniscus is read parallel to the eye.
To measure mercury volume, you must pay attention to the convex meniscus boundary that is seen parallel to the eye and place the measuring cup on a flat plane.
How to read the scale on the Lab Measuring Cup
To read the scale the measuring cup on the measuring cup is better located on the parallel media (flat table) the position of the eye parallel to the surface of the solution poured and adjusted to the size indicated, so that the accuracy of accuracy in vision is greater.
Conclusion
Measuring cup is a tool that is usually used to measure the size of liquid objects, can keep it to measure solid objects such as flour, granulated sugar, and so on. Measuring cup in the form of a tall glass with a scale along the wall. Made of glass or plastic that can't stand heat. Having a function to measure the volume of solution does not require a high level of accuracy in a certain amount. Made of glass or plastic that can't stand heat.
