Chemists rarely use volumetric flasks simply to measure out a specific volume of liquid; that's what graduated cylinders are for. This is alluded to in the article, but to say that volumetric flasks are used when pipettes or burettes are too small is misleading. Pipettes are certainly used to measure out volumes of liquid, but the next step would be a graduated cylinder. Moreover, burettes are seldom used for measuring out volumes, except in titrations, which is really a different case. Mihovil 02:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Reply


"Never introduce a solid into a volumetric flask!!!" - Can someone expand on that? 81.137.209.247 09:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

The reference to science fiction doesn't belong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.206.112.162 (talk) 13:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
