Requirements
Paracetamol tablets, vernier calliper, etc
Procedure
1. Determine the least count of vernier calliper. Calculate least count by dividing
smallest division on main scale by total number of divisions on vernier scale.
2. Place tablet between measuring jaws and record main scale and vernier scale
reading.
3. Measure thickness for ten tablets.
4. Complete the calculations and calculate average thickness for tablet.
5. Calculate 5 % deviation from average thickness.
Calculations
1. Percent deviation
Percent deviation = 5 x average thickness/100
2. Upper limit
UL = Avg thickness + Percent deviation
3. Lower limit
LL = Avg thickness - Percent deviation
4. Thickness range
Thickness range = (LL to UL)
Observations
Least Count (C) of vernier caliper = 0.01 cm

Conclusion
From above results it can be concluded that the given paracetamol tablets
complies with IP standards.
Requirements
Paracetamol tablets, friability tester and weighing balance.
Observations
1. Weight of tablets before friability test (W0) _____ g.
2. Weight of tablets after friability test (W0) _____ g.
Calculations
1. Friability
Percent friability = [W0-W1] x 100/W0
Result
Friability of given paracetamol tablet is found to be _______ %.
Conclusion
From above results it can be concluded that the given paracetamol tablets
complies/ does not with IP standards.
