A graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, used in laboratories and chemistry for precisely measuring and dispensing liquids.
From French burette (originally 'small barrel'), from Old French bure 'barrel.' The spelling burette is the standard in British English and scientific literature.
The burette is the microscopic precision tool of chemistry—chemists use it to dispense drops so carefully measured they can determine the exact concentration of unknown solutions.
