It should say on the cylinder. Most of the ones I've seen are marked every 1 or 2 ml and labelled every 10 ml, or marked every 0.1 ml and labelled every ml.

What are the lines called on a graduated cylinder?
calibration mark
A cylinder and a sphere are different?
Yes, because a cylinder has lines and a sphere is round. Yes a cylinder has a circle but it does has lines also. But a circle has no vertexes. And a cylinder has a vertexes.
What do the parallel lines on the Ife portrait heads represent?
The parallel lines represent scarification patterns.
Do all lines represent functions?
No. Vertical lines are not.
How many lines on a cylinder?
There are 0 lines on a cylinder their are 2 edges, 3 sides and 2 corners however.
A clear cylinder marked with evenly space lines for determining the volume of liqed?
It is a graduated cylinder.
Why are there lines on a graduated cylinder?
calibration mark
Where do you read the volume in the graduated cylinder?
Graduated cylinders are marked with lines showing the various volumes that are reached by fluid in the cylinder. That is why they are called graduated. If they did not have such markings they would just be ordinary cylinders. So, you see what marking the fluid reaches. That's how you measure the volume. You are just reading it off the cylinder, much the way you read length off a ruler.

What are the parts of the graduated cylinder?
There are little lines that you can read to find the amount of liquid in the cylinder.
Do you measure volume to the top or bottom of the muniscus?
The meniscus is a curve in the surface of a liquid that is caused by surface tension and by the attraction between the liquid and the sides of the container. The bottom of the meniscus represents the most accurate measurement because the lines of a graduated cylinder are in the middle of the graduated cylinder.
What units of measurements are founf on a graduated cylinder?
in the metric system the lines refer to milliliters
What is function of the graduated cylinder?
It's a measuring device in the shape of a precision cylinder, accurately marked with regular lines or ridges. It is one of the devices commonly used to measure the volume of liquids.
What glassware provides the most accurate volume?
The glassware that provides the most accurate measurement of volume is the measuring cup. A glass measuring cup has lines on it to give an accurate reading.
How do you find the volume using the displacement method?
This method only works for solids, and obviously if you pour a liquid into another liquid to test it's volume, you will lose the liquid. First you put a general amount of water into a graduated cylinder, or a cylinder with lines marking the volume. I would recommend using about 10 mmL of water. Next, drop your solid into the graduated cylinder. Observe what the water line has risen to be. For example, the water line begins at 10 mmL, and after you drop your solid in, it has risen to be 25 mmL. You then subtract the old volume from the new, and the difference is your solid's volume. In the example, you would subtract 10 from 25 to get 15.
What is a measuring cylinder used to for?
A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid and occasionally a solid (it can be inverted and used to measure gas as well!) The cylinder is made of glass (usually Pyrex) or plastic and has measured lines with volume values noted on the lines (a.k.a. graduations.) Simply fill the cylinder with a liquid until it reaches the volume you require. When measuring the liquid level you will notice that electrostatic forces and gravity alter the shape of the liquid's surface to a crescent shape. This is called a "meniscus." In most cases the shape will look like a smile, you must make the measurement so the bottom portion of the smile shape is lined up with the graduation mark on the cylinder. Occasionally the meniscus will be close to flat or inverted like a frown, such is the case with liquid mercury. In such scenarios, the uppermost portion of the frown shape should be used for accurate measurement. To measure the volume of a small solid object of irregular shape, you can measure out a certain volume of a liquid (like water) in the cylinder, and then carefully place the solid objects in the cylinder, making sure they are completely submerged and contain no air bubbles. The water is displaced to a new reading on the graduated cylinder and the difference between the original and the final readings is the volume that the solid object occupies. Measuring the volume of a gas is more complicated to set up and explain. In general the graduated cylinder is filled with liquid and inverted in a large container filled with water. The gas reaction evolves gas through a tube, directly under the inverted cylinder, and rises to the top (the base of the inverted cylinder). The amount of gas produced will displace the water downward as it fills the top of the cylinder and can be measured using the graduations when the gas has ceased. This will give you the volume that the gas occupies. If the gas is soluble in the liquid, some may remain dissolved and give a false-low volume reading.
Is a graduated cylinder similar to a measuring cylinder?
They are the same thing. Both are glass or plastic cylinders with lines to indicate how much liquid is in the cylinder. Like a more accurate measuring cup.
