A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory equipment used to accurately measure out volumes of objects for use in labs. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than flasks and beakers.

Whatever it is Graduated for.
It usually measure volume by height from the bottom. The graduations are usually in 10ths or 100ths of a larger unit. But these can be mm, cm, Cu In, Ounces, pounds, qty. etc.
This is determined in the design of the measuring cylinder and what it is intended to measure. Set up with other devices it can measure time as well.

How is an graduated cylinder harmful?
A graduated cylinder is not a harmful object ! Of course, I don't suppose that you want to break a glass cylinder.
What instrument will you use to find liquid volume?
A graduated cylinder, a volumetric flask, a pipette, any graduated or calibrated container that will safely hold the fluid, a flow meter, a set of scales can also be used if the specific gravity of the fluid is known.
What do you use to measure volume?
You can use a graduated cylinder. --------------------------------------------------------- In a laboratory you can use also pipettes, burettes, dispensers. For large volumes calibrated containers exist.
What measures volume?
A graduated cylinder! -------------------------------------------------- For small volumes in a chemical laboratory are used also pipettes and burettes. For big volumes exist calibrated buckets.
What is used to measure large amounts of liquid?
It depends by what you mean by large. Large in a science laboratory could be 1 liter, but in an industrial factory it could mean 1000 liters!Typically, to measure volume of liquids from 100 mL to 5 liters either a graduated cylinder or a volumetric flask is used, both of which are available is numerous different sizes in that range.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about graduated cylinders and volumetric flasks.
