Abstract
Abstract A titrating device adapted to be removably air-tight fitted onto a bottle of titrating liquid, comprising a graduated plunger-type syringe, for mounting externally on the bottle by a seal providing air-tight communication with a burette of comparable capacity as the syringe, for mounting in the bottle, so that titrating liquid in the bottle is metered into the burette and does not contact the syringe when the plunger is withdrawn while the tip of the burette is below the surface of the titrating liquid.
