Basics The values obtained by weighing during the gravimetric test are only the mass values of the dispensed volume In order to obtain the actual volume an adjustment calculation must be carried out The necessary number of tests depends primarily upon the skill of the tester Generally one test should suf fice in the case of volumetric instruments made of glass plastic at least in case of instruments calibrated IN to contain In case of instruments calibrated EX to deliver to be on the safe side it is advisable to use the mean value resulting from 3 measurements The scatter of the individual results should not be greater than 1 3 of the admissible error limit of the measuring instrument Example error limit of a 10 ml bulb pipette is 0 020 ml The scatter of measuring results must be below 0 0067 ml If the scatter is greater we recomend to revise the testing procedure and repeat the test Liquid Handling instruments are normally tested at 100 50 and 10 of their nominal volume For each partial volume 10 measurements are required The standard ISO 4787 describes the testing of volumetric instruments and provides the following general equation for calculations Va Wa W Capp 17 1 yet 20 C Since this equation is rather cumbersome to work with requiring a multitude of tables we are providing a simplified calculation in these Testing Instructions Monitoring of measuring instruments made easy Voy
