The Selection, Care, and Use of Volumetric Glassware and Weighing Equipment ULM-0005/1 Introduction This document outlines the various glassware and weighing equipment required to accurately perform the procedures for analyzing photoprocessing chemistry defined in methods. Most require measurement of liquids with a tolerance of ± 0.1 mLs and weights of 0.001 g. VOLUMETRIC MEASURING EQUIPMENT The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the litre. It is defined as the volume occupied by the mass of one kilogram of water at its temperature of maximum density and under normal atmospheric pressure. Volumetric glassware is calibrated in terms of litres (L) or millilitres (mL). A volumetric determination can be no better than the equipment and technique used in performing it. Table 1 at the end of this document summarizes the various glassware and gives information on the specifications of each type. Selection And Tolerances The volumetric glassware used must have adequate accuracy to avoid introducing a significant error to the analytical result. If a volume of solution is critical in an analytical procedure, pipets, burets, or volumetric flasks of high accuracy must be used. Other steps may require the measurement of only an approximate volume, thus either a graduated cylinder or a “tip-up pipet” may be used. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly National Bureau of Standards) Circular 602 specifies tolerances for volumetric glassware that meet the most precise requirements of the analytical procedures used in the control of photographic processing. This equipment is designated in Federal Specification DD-V-581 as “Class A.” Glassware certified to meet these specifications are available from most manufacturers of laboratory glassware. The required tolerances are given in Table 1. Care of Volumetric Glassware 1. Cleaning Solutions A piece of glass apparatus is not sufficiently clean unless its surface is uniformly wetted by reagent water *. Grease prevents the glass walls from being uniformly wetted, causing drainage to be uneven and delivery not precise. To keep volumetric glassware scrupulously clean and free from grease, three types of cleaning solutions are recommended. These solutions are used undiluted and may be re-used until no longer effective. Do not draw any of these cleaning solutions into pipets or burets by mouth. Use a rubber bulb. * Water, Type I Reagent - Reagent water equivalent to or purer than Type I grade, as defined in ASTM Standard D 1193. Other grades of water, e.g., reverse osmosis (RO), demineralized, or distilled water, may give equivalent results, but the effects of water quality on method performance have not been studied. a. Types Detergent—Most detergents are very effective for most cleaning problems encountered. Sulfuric Dichromate—A solution of sodium or potassium dichromate in concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4 ) is most effective against grease. It is also the most dangerous because of its strong acid, oxidizing, and dehydrating properties. Add about 30 grams of sodium dichromate to one litre of concentrated sulfuric acid. Technical grade dichromate and acid are satisfactory, and the exact concentration of sodium dichromate is not important. After stirring the mixture a few minutes, decant the clear liquid from any sediment that may clog buret or pipet tips during cleaning. The solution will become green as it loses its usefulness as an oxidizing and cleansing agent and should be discarded. Acid-Alcohol—A solution of one volume of 3 N hydrochloric acid (HCl) added to one volume of practical or reagent-grade methyl alcohol is effective in removing cyan stains and in cleaning spectrophotometer cells. Caution Do not mix this solution in a closed container. The heat produced may cause a dangerous increase in pressure. b. Safety When mixing and handling the sulfuric dichromate or acid-alcohol cleaning solutions, wear rubber gloves and safety goggles and observe the other safety precautions for handling concentrated acids. Never add water to sulfuricdichromate solution in a container because excessive heat and steam are likely to spatter the hot acid. If acid is spilled on the skin or clothing or splashed into the eyes, flush the affected parts with a large amount of water. The water will dilute the acid and wash it away. Seek medical treatment immediately. 2. Cleaning and Storing Glassware To use a cleaning solution, the glassware should first be rinsed well with water, then immersed in or filled with the cleaning solution for a few minutes. The cleaning solutions are best stored and used in polyethylene containers. Pipet jars, being tubular, are excellent for soaking and storing pipets and burets. After treatment with a cleaning solution, the glassware should be thoroughly rinsed inside and out with reagent water. For reasons of economy, ordinary tap water may be used for the preliminary rinsing, reserving the reagent water for the final rinsing.

Introduction<br />
This document outlines the various glassware and weighing<br />
equipment required to accurately perform the <strong>procedures</strong> for<br />
analyzing photoprocessing chemistry defined in methods.<br />
Most require measurement of liquids with a tolerance of<br />
± 0.1 mLs and weights of 0.001 g.<br />
VOLUMETRIC MEASURING EQUIPMENT<br />
The standard unit of volume in the metric system is the litre.<br />
It is defined as the volume occupied by the mass of one<br />
kilogram of water at its temperature of maximum density<br />
and under normal atmospheric pressure. Volumetric<br />
glassware is calibrated in terms of litres (L) or<br />
millilitres (mL). A volumetric determination can be no better<br />
than the equipment and technique used in performing it.<br />
Table 1 at the end of this document summarizes the various<br />
glassware and gives information on the specifications of<br />
each type.<br />
Selection And Tolerances<br />
The volumetric glassware used must have adequate accuracy<br />
to avoid introducing a significant error to the <strong>analytical</strong><br />
result. If a volume of solution is critical in an <strong>analytical</strong><br />
procedure, pipets, burets, or volumetric flasks of high<br />
accuracy must be used. Other steps may require the<br />
measurement of only an approximate volume, thus either a<br />
graduated cylinder or a “tip-up pipet” may be used.<br />
The National Institute of Standards and Technology<br />
(formerly National Bureau of Standards) Circular 602<br />
specifies tolerances for volumetric glassware that meet the<br />
most precise requirements of the <strong>analytical</strong> <strong>procedures</strong> used<br />
in the control of photographic processing. This equipment is<br />
designated in Federal Specification DD-V-581 as “Class A.”<br />
Glassware certified to meet these specifications are available<br />
from most manufacturers of laboratory glassware. The<br />
required tolerances are given in Table 1.<br />
