Long-range forecast products tend to be more accurate than short-range ones. False
- the standardization of a cylinder is more difficult - the gradations are much smaller, because the diameter is smaller - the delivery of the liquid is more accurate, the burette having a stopcock
As a chemist I can tell you that there are a significant purpose differences between the two, though sometime masked in high school chemistry. In college you learn that the graduated cylinder are more specifically designed to measure volume of a liquid. The test tube is glass which is safer to do most chemical reactions in - meaning the test tube is not generally used for measurement but rather a container for liquids.
A graduated cylinder is utilized to get a more precise measurement of the volume of a liquid. They're also known as measuring cylinders.
Actually, a conical graduate is more commonly used for pharmaceutical applications. They might be used to measure distilled water or ethanol for reconstituting a powdered medication. They are a little less accurate than a standard cylindrical graduate, but they make it easier to obtain a fast measurement and allow for easy pouring.
Because the smaller the cylinder the more accurate the measurement.
smaller
Theoretically a graduated cylinder...but if the only graduate I've got holds five liters with graduations 100 ml apart and I'm trying to measure to the milliliter, the pipette would be more accurate.
It uses smaller segments of measurement making it more accurate
Pipette can hold a small amount of liquid but a graduate cylinder can hold more and its good for accuracy.
A pipette is more accurate. It can easily deliver one drop at a time.
The graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume. These cylinders are said to be more precise and accurate over beakers and flasks.

They are the same thing. Both are glass or plastic cylinders with lines to indicate how much liquid is in the cylinder. Like a more accurate measuring cup.

Depending on how accurate you want to be you can use a variety of methods. Common methods include the following (with increasing level of accuracy) 1) graduated cylinder 2) volumetric pipette. 3) Calibrated micro-pipette (may require more than one transfer)
