What container for measuring liquids?

Answer 1

For most laymen and women, liquids are measured using cups and spoons, based on ounces (8ozs =1 cup) in the US and liters most everywhere else. For scientific purposes the metric system is usually more precise at smaller quantities and most versatile worldwide, and uses beakers, test tubes and other means of calibrating measurements more exactly.

Answer 2

There's no such thing.

I think the answer you're looking for is "graduated cylinder", but it could be "buret" ("pour" suggests the graduated cylinder is meant). Neither is all that "exact" compared to true volumetric containers, like volumetric pipettes or volumetric flasks.

Answer 3

It depends on how accurate you want the measurement to be.

For rough estimation, use a beaker.

For accuracy to 1cm3, use measuring cylinder.

For accuracy to 0.1cm3, use buretter.

To measure fixed volumes of liquids, e.g. 25.0cm3, use a pipette.

Answer 4

A 'beaker' Correct answer: graduated cylinder

Answer 5

A micropipet can acurately measure liquid to the microliter (a milionth of a liter)
