Measurement Apparatus
What is Measurement Apparatus?
Laboratory equipment selected to measure a stated physical quantity. Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 names seven items: a stop-watch for time, a thermometer for temperature, a balance for mass, and four for volume - a burette for an accurately known variable volume of liquid, a volumetric pipette for one fixed volume of liquid, a measuring cylinder for a variable volume where a coarser scale is acceptable, and a gas syringe for a volume of gas measured directly.
