I am an undergraduate student majoring in physics. I am looking for the best method to accurately measure the volume of strong acids like hydrobromic $(w(\ce{HBr(aq)}) = 48\,\%)$ and hydroiodic $(w(\ce{HI(aq)}) = 57\,\%)$ acids. I need milliliter volumes, and since I'm going to pour or dispense a specific volume of acid in a vial, I mean "to deliver". The only measuring device I could think of is a mechanical pipette, but I am afraid the acids or their corrosive vapors could damage the pipette's mechanism.

I don't have any friends or colleagues majored in chemistry, so I am having a hard time trying to decide which pipette to buy. I really have no clues on how actual chemists who use strong acids accurately measure them, so I'll be pleased with any kind of help.

I am an undergraduate student majoring in physics, and I have a question about using a pipette.

  I currently have to think of aam looking for the best method to accurately measure the volume of strong acids like HBr and HI,hydrobromic $(w(\ce{HBr(aq)}) = 48\,\%)$ and thehydroiodic $(w(\ce{HI(aq)}) = 57\,\%)$ acids. The only measuring device I could think of wasis a mechanical pipette.

But, since it has mechanical parts inside in it,but I thought maybeam afraid the acids or their corrosive vapors could affect those partsdamage the pipette's mechanism.

Can I use a mechanical pipette to transfer strong acid?
