Section 6
Calibration
The pipette is calibrated in the factory with distilled water at
22 °C/72 °F. No recalibration is needed for routine use. The
pipette can, however, be recalibrated for other temperatures
and solutions of different viscosities. An appropriately
sensitive analytical balance, a small beaker and distilled water
are needed to carry out the calibration.
Important Note: If either the handle or the piston is replaced,
the pipette must be recalibrated. If the O-rings or the tip cone
are replaced, the calibration should be checked.
