in the metric system the lines refer to milliliters

Liters
graduated cylinder and a cylinder
When using a graduated cylinder you should use liquid measurements. Specifically the units of liters (L) or milliliters (ml), which are fractions of liters.
Milliliter, or mL.
A graduated cylinder uses milliliters not millimeters. Hopefully I'm not too later for this fix.
They're most commonly measured in milliliters (mL)
Graduated cylinder
Volume of a cylinder measured in cubic units = pi*radius2*height.

The smallest measurement on a graduated cylinder depends on the particular cylinder, since different sizes and brands exist. A common unit to measure by in a graduated cylinder is 1/100th of a liter.
A graduated cylinder measures liquid volume. The word "graduated" means it's marked off in units, usually milliliters (mL). Because the cylinder is graduated more finely than most beakers or flasks, the graduated cylinder is the best way to accurately measure liquid volume in science. Beakers and flasks can give you a rough measurement, but graduated cylinders are the way to go if you really want to be accurate.
