What instrument measures liquid volume or capacity?

Answer 1

There are manu instruments capable of measuring liquid volume:

• In laboratories, typical volume measuring devices include graduated cylinders and beakers, and measuring/volumetric flasks. For home use, the equivalents are measuring cups and spoons.
• If you wanted to put a precise volume of a liquid into a jar you might use a burette (a graduated glass tube with a tap at the bottom that you can let exactly the right amount through).
• Or you could use a pipette (a glass tube with a bulge in the middle and a line on the neck. You suck liquid up until it reaches the line and depending on what the size of the pipette is you have an exact quantity.
• A measuring jug or normal scales works millilitres and grams are the same.
• Mathematically, if you know the dimensions of the container of the liquid you can find it's volume and calculate the volume.
• Or you could find the volume indirectly: for example by measuring the time it takes to fill at a known flow rate, or by measuring the mass of liquid and using the density.

They use a graduated cylinder.

Answer 2

That depends on the precision you require, the approximate volume and the purpose of the measurement. In the kitchen I'd use a measuring jug or a calibrated spoon. In the lab, for most purposes I'd use a measuring cylinder of the appropriate size, but for more accurate fixed volumes I'd use a pipette, and for variable volumes a burette or syringe.

Answer 3

Graduated cylinders come in a range of sizes, or volume capacities, and much like a measuring cup, volume is measured by adding liquid to the cylinder and comparing the liquid level to the graduated scale.

Answer 4

A graduated cylinder is an instrument used to measure liquid volume or capacity. It is marked with measurement units such as milliliters or liters to accurately determine the volume of liquid in it.
