Volume is the three-dimensional space occupied by an object. It is not how much matter there is in the object---mass tells us that--nor does it give the weight. It just tells us how much space the object occupies in the three dimensions. So to have volume an object has to have length, width and height. A line, for example, has no volume.

You need different tools these measurements. For mass you want a scale or balance. You can only use the same tool for length and volume (a ruler, caliper or similar) if the object you are measuring is a well defined solid with known geometric shape. Otherwise you will have to perform a measuring experiment for example put the object you want to determine the volume of in a graduated cylinder, pour a known volume of liquid into the cylinder, read the volume and subtract to determine the object's volume.
