What is a Graduated cylinder?

A measuring cylinder, also known as a graduated cylinder, is a laboratory instrument used to measure the volume of liquids accurately. It is typically made of glass or plastic and has a cylindrical shape with a spout at the top for pouring. The cylinder is marked with graduation lines, usually in milliliters (mL), allowing precise measurements. When using a measuring cylinder, it is important to align the eye level with the liquid meniscus for accurate reading. Measuring cylinders are widely used in chemical experiments, cooking, and industrial applications to measure liquid quantities with a certain level of precision.

Application of Graduated cylinder

✅ Chemical Experiments
In laboratory settings, a measuring cylinder is used to measure the volume of liquids accurately. For example, when investigating the reaction between an acid and a base, precise measurements are crucial.
✅ Cooking
In cooking, measuring cylinders are used to measure liquid ingredients such as water, oil, or milk to ensure accurate proportions for recipes.
✅ Water Quality Testing
Measuring cylinders are often used in environmental science and water quality testing to measure liquid volumes accurately for analysis and data collection.
