A burette (also buret) is a laboratory equipment used in analytical chemistry for the dispensing of variable, measured amounts of a chemical solution. A volumetric burette delivers measured volumes of liquid. Piston burettes are similar to syringes, but with precision bore and plunger. Piston burettes may be manually operated or may be motorized. A weight burette delivers measured weights of liquid.

Overview
A burette a volumetric measuring glassware which used in analytical chemistry for accurate dispensing of variable, measured the volume of a liquid, especially of one of the reagents in a titration.
 * Purpose: Burette used to measured in volume in the specific amount but different from measuring cylinder as its graduations measure from top to bottom. Therefore the difference between the starting and final volume is equal to the amount dispensed. The precise measureing of Burette is beneficial to used in titration in order to add titrant to the titrated solution

Types
There are two main types of Burette which manual Burette and Digital Burette

Volumetric Burette
A volumetric burette consists of glass tube of constant bore with a graduation scale etched on it and a stopcock at the bottom. The barrel of the stopcock may be made of glass or the plastic PTFE. Stopcocks with glass barrels need to be lubricated with vaseline or a specialized grease. Burettes are manufactured to specified tolerances, designated as class A or B and this also is etched on the glass. Reading the data at the eye level means looking straight ahead at the bottom of meniscus Using the burette with colorless solution is sometime difficult to observe the bottom of the meniscus so Black Strip Technique can help to accurately observe and measure the number on the scale. Moreover, the number should be report in two decimal places number which can be easier done by using Black strip Technique. The black stripped can be written with pen on the normal white paper or it can be printed it out. However, it is necessary to use the white color paper as the background so the scale is still readable. The specification of burette is on the topmost of it (not the side with stopcock). Specification is used to select the appropriate burette according to the purpose of usage. Example of specification are Nominal volume, volume unit, Accuracy classification, Delivery and waiting time. (add photo) For Class A burette,
 * Reading the Burette  The amount of solution added in or drained out need to be read correctly by observed at the eye level straight to the bottom of "Menicus"
 * Techniques to read the Burette
 * Specification on Burette
 * 1) Accuracy classification is at the top of the burette along with other specification.There are only two classes based on the level of accuracy which are Class A/AS and Class B.

Specification
Specification or product specification are used as a identification of volumetric burette for example nominal volume, volume unit, error limit, class of the burette and other manufacture's related details. It is necessary to be able to identify the difference in burette specification in order to perform the accurate experiment since the usage of burette is associated with its specification. Nominal volume, error and units are the basic knowledge in order to distinguish the delivery volume of the certain solution from the burette. Another specification for burette is called calibration marked as TD or Ex stand for "Calibration to Deliver". it used to indicate that this burette is butter used to delivery purpose which the amount will be correspond to the volume as specified The accuracy classes also shown in specification of burette as well and it includes class A and class B. Class A will be used when volumetric accuracy is important for the accuracy of the experiment with accuracy up to 0.1 percent.

Digital Burette or Piston Burette

Digital burettes are based on a syringe design. The barrel and plunger may be made of glass. With liquids that corrode glass, including solutions of alkali, the barrel and plunger may be made of polyethylene or another resistant plastic material. The barrel is held in a fixed position and the plunger is moved incrementally either by turning a ratcheted wheel by hand, or by means of a step-motor. The volume is shown on a digital display. A high-precision syringe may be used to deliver very precise aliquots. Motorized digital burettes may be controlled by computer; for example, a titration may be recorded digitally and then subject to numerical processing to find the titre at an end-point.
