You measure from the bottom curve of the meniscus.
All equipment that is intended to measure volume will take into account the meniscus
Do you mean is a meniscus always concave? If so, then no. For example, the meniscus of mercury is convex.
volume and meniscus
Viewing across the flat portion of the meniscus.
A graduated Cylinder needs to be read at the meniscus.
You should always measure at the lowest part of the meniscus. The meniscus is a slight curvature at the top of a liquid in a container.
You measure at the bottom of the meniscus.
All liquids have a surface tension. This tension creates a meniscus or curve on the surface, most noticeable in small diameter tubes or cylinders. The meniscus of water curves up the sides of the cylinder, while heavy liquids like mercury curves down the cylinder. You should always measure light liquids at the bottom of the meniscus and heavy liquids at the top of the meniscus.
Meniscus
The curve is referred to as the meniscus.

The meniscus rule states that you always measure the volume of a water-based solution from the bottom of the meniscus when you are using a graduated cylinder.
When a liquid is filled in a cylinder, the liquids usually form a bubble called meniscus. Then you measure the lowest point of the meniscus and record the measurement.
You measure from the bottom of the meniscus. The top of the meniscus can vary wildly depending on the diameter of the tube, or the air pressure, or room temperature.
meniscus
All equipment that is intended to measure volume will take into account the meniscus
The meniscus is the concave line of liquid that forms in a graduated cylinder (measuring volume) due to that liquid's adhesion (the tendency to want to stick to other things). When measuring a liquid's volume in a graduated cylinder, you read the volume from the bottom of the meniscus. Therefore, the meniscus does not measure anything, it is where you measure a liquid's volume from.
