Well spotted! Much measuring glassware, including thermometers, is only calibrated at a couple of points. And the remainder of the marks are interpolated by a machine. Often you'll find an extra scratch alongside a couple of the graduations.

And of course, glass is not a rigid material, and it has some memory of the last time it was hot or cold, and this affects the accuracy of the measurements.

The accuracy is unlikely to be better than 1 part per thousand.

It also depends on the graduated cylinder and its measurement because excluding human error it will accurately measure up to 1 place further then the smallest measurement on the cylinder so if the measurements are 10 20 30 40 you can go to one more place so to 11 or 12 and still be accurate and still scientifically correct.
