Measuring cylinder sizes.

Each marked line on the graduated cylinder represents the amount of liquid that has been measured. It is cylinder shaped hence the name with measurement markings in a variety of sizes. A graduated cylinder is a common piece of lab glassware used to measure out exact amounts of solutions. A graduated cylinder also known as measuring cylinder or mixing cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid.

The process may seem complex but it really isn t all that difficult once you understand the logic behind it. Our class b glass graduated cylinders are more accurate than our erlenmeyer flasks and beakers and can be used to measure the volume of irregular objects by the amount of water they displace. Fit a dial bore gauge with a head that matches the size of the cylinder. Graduated cylinders are commonly used in chemistry labs for measuring the volume of liquids.

A 100 ml glass cylinder is a good all around choice for most student chemistry experiments or science fair projects. Measuring cylinder bore will require you to use a dial bore gauge to find the diameter of the cylinder at various points along its height.
