What is Calibration The calibration of a measuring

What is Calibration? The calibration of a measuring device is the distance between the two closest lines (It’s not the distance between the two closest numbers!)

Not every graduated cylinder is calibrated the same way. source

What is the capacity of the large graduated cylinder? 1000 ml source What is the calibration of the large graduated cylinder? 10 ml

source Capacity = ? 100 ml source Calibration = ? 1 ml

By the way, how would you read this? The numbers go up so you read up! source Read from the meniscus.

Capacity = ? Calibration = ? source 50 ml 1 ml

Capacity = ? Calibration = ? source 25 ml 1 ml

Capacity = ? Calibration = ? source 25 ml 0. 5 ml

source Capacity = ? Calibration = ? 10 ml 0. 2 ml source

Here are some other pieces of lab equipment. Figure out the calibration of each!

source On this meter stick, the closest lines are 1 millimeter or 0. 001 meter apart.

source The meter stick in this drawing has a calibration mark every decimeter or 0. 1 meter.

Capacity = ? 1000 ml Calibration = ? 50 ml source

Capacity = ? 250 ml Calibration = ? 25 ml source

Capacity = ? 150 ml Calibration = ? 20 ml source

Capacity = ? Calibration = ? source 25 ml 10 ml

This is a triple beam balance. source

What’s the calibration? source 0. 1 gram

This is part of a buret. The numbers go down, so you read down. The calibration is 0. 1 ml source
