What is the the bottom of a curved line in a graduated cylinder?

The "bottom of a curved line" made by the liquid in a graduated cylinder could be called the "measuring line" or "reference line" in the application of that piece of labratory equipment. The curved surface of the liquid itself is called the meniscus, and we look to the bottom of the meniscus to make our reading as to the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder. The liquid in the cylinder "grabs" the sides of the cylinder and "pulls itself up" just a bit, and that creates the curve in the surface of the liquid. And that curve, the meniscus (which is from the Greek word for crescent), leaves us with a problem: where do we "read" the volume marked off by the graduations along the side of the cylinder? And the answer is, "At the bottom of the meniscus."


Are correct procedures for reading the volume of water in the graduated cylinder?

Water in a glass graduated cylinder adheres to the sides of the cylinder, forming a meniscus which is an upward curve. When reading volume in a cylinder, look at the meniscus at eye level. Read the volume at the bottom of the curve.
