ASTM E-288 calibration
ASTM E-288 calibration
(OP)
The subject standard is referenced by a lab glassware company for the tolerances in manufacturing volumetric flasks. If someone has a copy handy, does the standard specify calibration "to contain" or "to deliver"? Presumably, the calibration is also traceable to NIST standards?
Thanks,

I am looking for a copy now.

It was very unusual in that this fact was never mentioned in two quarters of Quantitative Analysis.
RE: ASTM E-288 calibration
I Was hoping I could get the supplier to also provide a calibration traceability certificate, and after wrangling a bit they were able to do so (but I'm pretty sure the cert. will just state the flask was manufactured to the tolerances of the ASTM spec). Was hoping something in the spec. requires traceability to NIST standards (I don't know how else they'd do it?).
Thanks again. One of these days, I'll get down to the university and look up the spec., along with a few others, and answer a lot of burning questions... :)
