Single—pan electric balance

As we have seen that the volumetric analysis essentially requires the precise and accurate measurement of weights and volumes of interacting solutions. However, the weights are measured upto the fourth place of decimal by using a manually operated good analytical balance or a single-pan electrical balance that need to be calibrated periodically with the help of a standard weight box. 

Most of the instruments, commonly used in an analytical laboratory, such as UV-Spectrophoto-meter, IR-Spectrophotometer, single—pan electric balance, pH-meter, turbidimeter and nephelometer, polarimeter, refractometer and the like must be calibrated duly, before use so as to eliminate any possible errors. In the same manner all apparatus, namely pipettes, burettes, volumetric flasks, thermometers, weights etc., must be calibrated duly, and the necessary corrections incorporated to the original measurements.
