A graduated cylinder is a usually glass (but some are plastic) quantitative piece of laboratory equipment. Graduated cylinders are used for accurate liquid measurement. To read a graduated cylinder correctly, the volume of liquid contained is measured at the bottom of the meniscus, which is at the top of the liquid, in the exact center of the cylinder, and not at the side where the liquid touches the glass (or plastic).

To measure volume of liquids.

Pour liquid in the graduated cylinder then find the lower meniscus (lower meniscus's lower curve of liquid's surface) read the volume off the graduations.
