Overview
ASTM E1189-00(2022) is the standard specification issued by ASTM International for micro-burets (Koch style) designed for laboratory use. This specification ensures consistency, accuracy, and durability in the production and use of Koch-type glass micro-burets, which are essential tools for precise volumetric measurements in various analytical procedures. The standard outlines material requirements, dimensional tolerances, and construction details for two specific styles of micro-burets, enhancing their reliability and performance across laboratory settings.
Key Topics
- Material Requirements: Micro-burets must be manufactured from Type I, Class A or B glass, ensuring chemical resistance and mechanical strength suitable for laboratory applications.
- Stopcocks and Joints: All burets must include permanently attached stopcocks, either with glass plugs (per ASTM E675) or PTFE plugs (per ASTM E911), for leak-proof operation. Joints and stoppers must meet additional ASTM specifications for interchangeability and integrity.
- Design Styles:
- Style I: Features a detachable tip (7/25 joint or SJ 12/5 joint) with the reservoir and graduated sections secured together to prevent breakage.
- Style II: Incorporates a detachable noble metal tip (platinum or platinum alloys) sealed to glass, with a separate reservoir and graduated section joined by a spherical ground joint.
- Graduation and Calibration: The graduated section of the burets meets the scale and tolerance requirements of ASTM E694, providing precise measurement capabilities.
- Performance Parameters: Specifications include strict values for capacity, scale length, diameter, outflow time, and tolerance, supporting high accuracy in laboratory titrations and measurements.
- Compliance and Testing: Sampling and testing protocols refer to ASTM E1157, ensuring product conformity to specified standards.
Applications
ASTM E1189-00(2022) compliant micro-burets play a critical role in settings where accuracy and repeatability are paramount:
- Chemical and Clinical Laboratories: For performing titrations, sample preparation, and reagent delivery.
- Educational Institutions: In chemistry and biology teaching labs requiring reliable volumetric apparatus.
- Pharmaceutical and Environmental Testing: Where precise quantification of analytes is essential.
- Research and Development: Supporting advanced experimental procedures that demand consistent, traceable measurements.
By adhering to this standard, laboratories can ensure the use of quality-assured glassware, increasing confidence in analytical results and supporting regulatory compliance.
