Calculate Milliliters in a Pipette

Calculator of how many milliliters fit in a pipette of a certain size.

Mathematically, a simplified pipette is a narrow cylinder topped by a short, narrowing truncated cone, which in turn is capped by a very narrow, longer truncated cone. Pipettes are used to pick up small amounts of liquid. For example, they suck in water without flowing back, which doesn't work with a large opening. Therefore, the sizes are to be entered here in millimeters, the volume is calculated in milliliters.
Lengths and diameters must be measured inside the pipette, or outside with the wall thickness subtracted.

Example: a pipette has a cylinder length of 50 millimeters, the length of the middle part is 10 millimeters and the tip is 30 millimeters. The diameter of the cylinder is 5 millimeters, the diameter at the crease inside is 2 millimeters and at the top it is 1 millimeter. When the pipette is full, it holds just over 1.1 milliliters.

Pipettes are used to measure small amounts of liquids. They are primarily used in the medical field and in scientific laboratories. Eye drops often have this dosage form. Pipettes can also be used in the kitchen when an extreme ingredient, such as a strong chili solution, needs to be precisely measured and too much is to be avoided at all costs.
Since pipettes are used for liquids that, unlike powders, do not contain an unknown amount of air, they allow for precise measurement of the mass. Mass and volume are converted using density; often the main ingredient is water, in which case one milliliter of liquid corresponds to approximately one gram.
Pipettes can be squeezed at the thicker end, sometimes with a rubber bag attached to expel the contents.
