Data from 150 volumes
Differ by 0.02% for a 400 L volume, 0.05% for a
20 L volume
Ratio of surface area to volume increases as
volume decreases

Drainage Uncertainty
More liquid remains on the walls if the viscosity and surface
tension are larger
Uncertainty in delivered volume due to liquid property
changes (t changes)
Drainage uncertainty is proportional to Vc − Vd
