There are markings on the side to indicate the volume (that's what is meant by graduated), so no other tools are necessary.

Why beakers used in lab even it is not that accurate?
A beaker is a simple container for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories. Beakers are generally cylindrical in shape, with a flat bottom. Beakers are available in a wide range of sizes, from one millilitre up to several litres.
What instrument is used to measure beaker contents?
A graduated cylinder can be used, but most beakers are mfg with maximum capacity such as 250ml, 500ml, 1 liter etc.
A graduated cylinder is usually calibrated in what?
A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to accurately measure out volumes of objects for use in labs. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than flasks and beakers.
Why would a scientist use a graduated cylinder instead of beaker?
A Volumetric Pipette is the most accurate and used for titration calculations, if you include that as a type of pipette then it is FAR more accurate than a graduated cylinder. A beaker is very inaccurate so don't even go there.
Graduated cylinder function?
It's a tube used to measure exact amounts of liquid, usually for science.
What do scientists use to measure liquids?
beakers and graduated cyclinders .
To measure liquid volume in scientists use tools such as beakers and graduated cylinders?
It is fitted on to the end of a pipette, a graduated glass tube used to measure varying volumes of liquid, and is used to draw up the liquid safely.
What is used for measure volume?
Cylinder
Do graduated cylinders measure volume more precisely than beakers?
Yes they do; and, very much more so.
What does a gradulated cylinder do?
The graduated cylinder is used to measure liquid volume. These cylinders are said to be more precise and accurate over beakers and flasks.
Why can't beakers measure out the volume?
They can - if they are graduated.
What is used to measure fluids?
You can measure fluids in beakers, graduated cylinders or liquid measuring glasses. It depends on what you're measuring and why.
What unit does a beaker measure?
A graduated beaker measures volume in milliliters.
What is measuring cylinder used to measure?
A graduated cylinder measures liquid volume. The word "graduated" means it's marked off in units, usually milliliters (mL). Because the cylinder is graduated more finely than most beakers or flasks, the graduated cylinder is the best way to accurately measure liquid volume in science. Beakers and flasks can give you a rough measurement, but graduated cylinders are the way to go if you really want to be accurate.
What do graduated cylinders measure?
It measure volume of liquids .
Name of a glassware used to measure volume of a liquid exactly 65ml?
To measure a volume of liquid, laboratory instruments known as glassware are used. The commonly used glassware are burettes, pipettes, volumetric flasks and graduated cylinders.
Who uses a graduated cylinder?
Chemists use graduated cylinders to measure volumes of liquids.
