No, a beaker is a poor choice of instrument to measure volume.
Instead try a graduated cylinder. Generally, the smaller the diameter of graduated cylinder, the more accurate it will be. A grad cylinder will have the increments written up along the side with carefully placed "hash marks" indicating the volume of substance/solution in the cylinder. A breaker may have a few markings indicating the volume of the contents up the side, but not enough make it an accurate measuring device for varying volumes of liquid.

∙ 15y agoyou would use a beaker to measure the volume of a rock smaller than a closed fist. or any other misc. small item

∙ 13y agoFactories and scientists make sure that your beaker is exact for proper experiments and what not. If you have a problem with a beaker return it and get a new one. Happy science :)

Are test tubes used to measure volume?
Not usually. A beaker is used for measurement.
What unit does a beaker measure?
A graduated beaker measures volume in milliliters.
What is the units of a beaker and what does it measure?
Beakers measure liquid volume. The units can be any fraction of a liter, but most commonly milliliters.
What is the accurate apparatus to measure volume of water?
Depending upon the amount of substance you are using and what it is, you could use a graduated cylinder, Erlenmeyer flask, or a beaker.
What is the usage of beaker?
The purpose is to measure liquids and to boil it on your burner because of the big flat bottom and so you can pour the liquid a little more accurately when trying to do like a small drop of something.
What is a a beaker used for?
To measure volume
What is the equipment used to measure volume of liquid?
beaker and cylinder
What is the tool to measure volume using water displacement?

What does a graduated cylinder and a beaker measure?
They can be used to measure the volume of liquids. Sometimes, they can also be used to measure the volumes of small, insoluble solids.
Can a beaker measure kilograms?
Generally, a beaker (a glass jar) is used to measure volume (litres, gallons, pints, etc), not mass (kilograms, pounds, stone, etc). However, if you know the volume and density of the material in the beaker, you should be able to calculate its mass in kilograms. Density = Mass/Volume (mass over volume)
Which is used to measure volume?
Metric measure of volume in cubic meters and gallons used in the English system.
