A graduated cylinder is a good way to find volume. Another way to find volume is to use the following equation: Length x Width x Height. This is a way to find the volume of a rectangular or square item.

To determine the volume of an irregular object using graduated cylinders, you fill a graduated cylinder with water right to the top, then submerge the object in the water. Measure the water that overflows using a second graduated cylinder, and read the water level in it in cc's or cubic inches. That is the object's volume.

To find the volume of a liquid using a graduated cylinder, first ensure the cylinder is on a level surface. Pour the liquid into the cylinder until it reaches the desired level, then observe the meniscus—the curved surface of the liquid. Read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus at eye level to ensure accuracy. The value indicated on the graduated scale corresponds to the volume of the liquid.

Use a graduated cylinder and the water displacement method. Pour the sample of water in the graduated cylinder and find its meniscus. That is its volume.

A graduated cylinder would be the appropriate lab equipment to find the volume of a small stone through water displacement method. Fill the graduated cylinder with water, measure the initial volume, add the stone and record the new volume to calculate the stone's volume.
