Make a Container for a Burette

The first burette I owned broke because I was storing it clamped in the butterfly clamp. Thus to keep better care of my second burette, I made a special case for it using some PVC pipe.

Materials:

• 50mm PVC pipe
• Scrubbing sponge
• Drill
• 2-50mm PVC pipe end cap
• Measuring tape
• Scissors
• PVC cement
• Handsaw

 Procedure:

The length of the burette was measured using the measuring tape and the PVC pipe cut to the same length.

The diameter of the pipe was traced onto the sponge and cut out using a pair of scissors.

The sponge cut-out was inserted into one end of the pipe.

PVC cement was used to glue one of the caps onto the end of the pipe with the sponge.

A hole slightly wider than the diameter of the burette was drilled into the second cap.

The container is now complete!
