How is a meniscus used in measuring?
As the diameter of the container decreases, the meniscus becomes more pronounced. The meniscus may be convex (curving upward) or concave (curving downward).

When taking measurement readings it is important that the reading is done properly. The following rules must be adhered to: I. Read the meniscus at eye level. Do not read the meniscus from above or below eye level. Significant measurement errors may occur II. Read the bottom of a concave meniscus and the top of a convex meniscus.
