A burette (also spelled as buret) [1] is a graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, for delivering known volumes of a liquid, especially in titrations. It is a long, graduated glass tube, with a stopcock at its lower end and a tapered capillary tube at the stopcock's outlet.
A burette and Erlenmeyer flask (conical flask) being used for an acid–base titration.. Titration (also known as titrimetry [1] and volumetric analysis) is a common laboratory method of quantitative chemical analysis to determine the concentration of an identified analyte (a substance to be analyzed).
Titration of a standard solution using methyl orange indicator. Titrate is in Erlenmeyer flask, titrant is in burette. acid + base → salt + water. For example: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H 2 O. Acidimetry is the specialized analytical use of acid-base titration to determine the concentration of a basic (alkaline) substance using standard acid.
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. [1] 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.
Method of swirling an Erlenmeyer flask during titration. The slanted sides and narrow neck of this flask allow the contents of the flask to be mixed by swirling, without risk of spillage, making them suitable for titrations by placing it under the buret and adding solvent and the indicator in the Erlenmeyer flask.

They come in a variety of sizes, and are used much like a burette, in that the volume is found by calculating the difference of the liquid level before and after. The last graduation mark is some distance from the tip, to avoid errors in measuring the narrower volume of the nozzle. [ 3 ]
The gas is then passed into the Potassium Hydroxide (caustic potash) burette by opening the stop cock and lifting the leveling flask. This siphons water into the burette which pushes the gas into the absorption vessel. The gas is left to stand for about two minutes and then withdrawn, isolating the remaining gas via the stopcock arrangements.
In chemistry, a retort stand, also called a clamp stand, [1] a ring stand, [2] or a support stand, [3] is a piece of scientific equipment intended to support other pieces of equipment and glassware — for instance, burettes, test tubes and flasks. [4] The typical ring stand consists of a heavy base and a vertical rod, both usually made of metal.
