ASTM E1043-00(2022)

Standard Specification for Pipets, Milk and Cream Examination

ABSTRACT
This specification covers miscellaneous pipets suitable for use in milk and cream testing procedures. Pipets shall be made of high quality apparatus glass. Pipets shall be of the following types: Type 1—breed and brew pipet; Type II—milk pipet, Babcock; Type II A—milk pipet, Babcock variation; Type II B—milk pipet, Babcock variation; Type III—cream pipet; Type III A—cream pipet, additional size; Type IV—milk diluting pipet; Type IV A—milk diluting pipet, additional sizes; Type V—milk diluting pipet; Type VI—milk pipet, Gerber. Materials shall be tested and the individual grades shall conform to specified values of style and design, markings, and maximum residual thermal stress.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers miscellaneous pipets suitable for use in milk and cream testing procedures.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
