  Eye-Lab Liquid Handling Volumetric Flask Filling
Filling a volumetric flask up to the mark with a solution may appear to be a very simple operation for a chemist; however, one seldom considers the possible consequences that some common procedural errors may have on experimental analytic data.
Volumetric flasks are calibrated at 20°C, and therefore the total quantitative reproducibility of volumes is guaranteed only when the solvent being introduced is at this exact temperature.
The flask is secured to the base of the chamber with an automatic centering device, similar to the type used by opticians.

  Volumetric flask - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A volumetric flask (vol flask for short) is a piece of laboratory glassware used to measure a very precise and accurate amount of a liquid, and is used for such when the amount is too big for a pipette or burette.
The use of a volumetric flask almost always involves either measuring a certain amount of a liquid, or diluting a liquid to the size of the flask.
This is done by adding the solvent (or the liquid to be measured) to the flask until it reaches the neck, at which point it is usually added much more slowly, via pipette or dropper depending on the size of the flask.

When the liquid has been added to that point (so the meniscus (A disk of cartilage that serves as a cushion between the ends of bones that meet at a point) is on the line), it is usually accurate to within a small fraction of a percent and highly precise.
The use of a volumetric flask almost always involves either measuring a certain amount of a liquid, or diluting (additional info and facts about diluting) a liquid to the size of the flask.
When the flask has been completely filled it is then stoppered and inverted several times if this is a dilution.

 Erlenmeyer flask - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The main advantages in an Erlenmeyer flask are that it is less likely to tip over than a Florence flask and the smaller neck slows evaporative loss better than a beaker.
However the main difference is that conical flasks may be stoppered using rubber bungs, so as the contents of the flask may be mixed or transported safely.
The flask is not usually used when heating substances vigorously, this task usually being left to the Florence flask.

 CALIBRATION OF VOLUMETRIC GLASSWARE
The reasons for choosing one part per thousand as a goal are that pipets, burets, volumetric flasks and the analytical balance are capable of giving this degree of accuracy with relative ease, whereas the difficulties and time required to attain higher accuracy are so great that it is seldom worth the effort.

A one-liter (Pyrex) volumetric flask is modified by replacing the neck with a narrower tube (wide enough to permit insertion of a magnetic stirring bar) about 35 cm long, and adding a septum adapter to the side of the base.
Slowly add water (also colored) to the bottom of the flask by means of a funnel attached by a rubber tube to a long glass tube (a 10-mL pipet would be suitable).
When the volumetric flask has been filled to the top, the flow is stopped with a pinch clamp and the tube is gently removed.
