You can use some type of calibrated container: a graduated cylinder or beaker, generally. Another method would be to measure the mass of the liquid (any container will do, after you have tared the container) and divide by the density of the liquid (if you know it). These work for any liquid as long as it doesn't evaporate quickly. Also, the volume of a liquid may depend on temperature, so the volume at zero Celsius will be different from the volume at 98 Celsius, for example.

You must first fill a graduated cylinder with water, and then you place that on a triple balance beam scale. Record the number, and that is your answer.
