Liquids Volume Measurements in Graduated Cylinders

Graduated cylinder is one of measurement tools to measure volume of liquids. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the size and type of graduated cylinder being used. It come in various sizes including 10ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 500ml and 1000ml.

Different kinds of graduated cylinders are set up differently. Hence, each line or interval on the graduated cylinder may represent different value. The volume increment for each of those lines will be determined by the divisions between consecutive numbers. For example, a usual 10 millilitre cylinder has 10 divisions from one number to the next; therefore, the volume increment for each of those lines is a tenth of a millilitre.
