  • Patent number: 6182517
    Abstract: A burette tip (1) for metering a titrating agent consists essentially of a burette body (10) with a seat (3) for a membrane and with such a membrane (2). The burette tip (1) comprises, for protecting the membrane (2) and the seat (3) against mechanical damage, a covering (4, 5, 15) which at least partly encloses and covers the membrane (2) and the seat (3). The membrane (2) is clamped between the burette body (10) and a cover part (5) and is held in the burette body (10).

  • Patent number: 4715237
    Abstract: The chamber (1) of the metering apparatus is defined by the inside wall surface of a cylinder (3), by a displaceable piston (4), and by a cylinder end portion (5) which is displaceable relative to the cylinder (3). Ducts (2a, 2b) are arranged in the cylinder end portion (5) in such a way that they can be selectively communicated with the chamber (1) or closed off by the end face (7) of the cylinder (3) In that way a part of the chamber wall acts directly as a shut-off member so that no residual volumes remain, which cannot be ejected by the piston (4).
