Gas syringe

A syringe is used in the chemical laboratory apparatus for the handling of gases and has displaced the gas burette in many areas. Its uses include:

• Determining the volume of gas formed in a chemical process.
• Performing a test with a defined volume of a gas.

The syringe is similar to a glass syringe. Its volume is usually 100 ml The piston is located on a large area of the sleeve and is ground so that it is both smooth and gastight.
