What is the Function of the Measuring Cylinder?

A measuring cylinder also called graduated cylinder is laboratory glassware used to measure the volume of liquids. Some of its functions are the following: it is used at home when there is a need to measure volume of liquid ingredients required for a recipe and itÕs also used to accurately measure liquids used in chemistry or biology laboratories.


When do you use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of an object?

A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid, not an object. To measure the volume of a solid object, you would typically use a ruler to calculate its dimensions and then use a formula (e.g., V = l × w × h for a rectangular object) to determine its volume.

What unit of measure is used to express the volume of smaller objects?

The volumes of all objects are expressed in the third power of whatever units are being used to measure their dimensions. For example, if an object is very small and you measure its dimensions in millimeters, its volume would be expressed in cubic millimeters.


What instrument measures volume very precisely?

Graduated cylinders and burettes can be used to accurately measure relatively small amounts of liquids; however, you can also use a pipette to collect a pre-determined small amount of liquid. Micropipettes can collect a measured volume of fluid between 1 and 1,000 microliters. The smallest pipette made as of April 2007 can collect liquid samples in zeptoliters (measuring spoons--e.g., tablespoon, teaspoon, etc.).


What is the function of volumetric pipette?

A volumetric pipette is used to accurately measure and transfer a precise volume of liquid. It is designed to deliver a single, specific volume of liquid with high accuracy and precision. Volumetric pipettes are commonly used in analytical chemistry and laboratory settings where precise measurements are crucial.
