A micropipette or burette can be used to manually measure quite accurately. Pumps can be used in automated instruments.
It has to be noted that the lower the volume the less accuracy and precision can be obtained.

Does water keep its shape and volume?
Even though a liquid can change shape to fit in to a square, circular, rectagular or evenÊaÊflatÊcontainer, Liquid still retains its volume. Liquids always have a definate volume but they can always change shape.
Which state of matter has no definite shape but definite volume?
The state of matter that has no definite shape but a definite volume is a liquid.Liquid has definite volume but no shape. It assumes the shape of the vessel in which it is kept.All liquids have a definite volume given a particular fixed temperature.for example, water. it has no definite shape but a definite volume under a given temperature.no matter that has no shape and a definite volume exists.as the temperature is decreased, the molecules in a substance lose energy and they come closer and thus the volume decreases. but when it is heated, the molecules gain energy and move around hitting each other and moving farther and farther still. thus the volume increases on heating.Added:Liquid has NO definite shape but certaily (YES) a definite volume.This volume is not depending on temperature in the sense of not being 'defined' (as erroneously stated above).Its (defined) volume is determined by the amount and kind of matter and depending on (not defined by) temperature.(This means that it has not a constant value for a certain amount of liquid, but it is still a definite volume, meaning that, at each temperature a certain volume is 'defined' for a certain amount of liquid (defined is a derived word from 'definite').
What has a different shape but the same volume in any container?
In a really general way of answering this (I am not going to put this into context) assuming the substances have the same mass,a substance (X) with a density n greater than a substance (Y), will have a volume that is equal to (X)n-(Y) this means that the object with the same mass, but greater density, would have a volume that is less than the object with the lesser density.
What is the assumed uncertainty in a number?
Let's say that a liquid is being measured in a measuring device. This measuring device measures up to the tens place. Let's say that the liquid falls between 10.1 ml and 10.2 ml. Different people might say that there is a different ammount of liquid, maybe 10.15 ml or 10.16 ml. We customarily report a measurements by including all the certain digits plus the first uncertain digit. This means that the last number in a measurement is assumed as uncertain
How should you use a graduated cylinder?
Use the smallest volume graduated cylinder capable of holding the liquid to measure, this will result in the most accurate result. First, to insure greatest accuracy, one should make sure conditions are appropriate for the use of the cylinder, meaning that most graduated cylinders are calibrated for use with water at 20 degrees Celsius. One can determine this by looking for "20° TC" or "20° TD" marked on the cylinder. "TC", or "to contain", means that the volume of liquid contained in the cylinder is what is indicated by the graduated markings. "TD", or "to deliver", means the volume of liquid indicated by the markings is what will be delivered when the liquid is dispensed. This difference exists because when liquid is dispensed from any glassware a small amount remains and "TD" takes this difference into account. Second, the liquid should be poured into the cylinder carefully down one side, tilting the cylinder to minimize splashing and the formation of bubbles. Finally, to read the liquid volume, the cylinder should be on a level surface and the liquid level read at the bottom of the meniscus at eye level.
When you pour 8 ounces of water you are measuring?
Ounces can be a measure of weight, or a measure of volume. When referring to a liquid, ounces USUALLY means volume. 8 ounces is one cup.
Why can you use the technique of measuring volume as a mean of volume?
It depends on the experiment. In one particular experiment, using the technique of measuring volume as a means of counting will work. Think of measuring volume; a tablespoon of sugar or salt. When measuring the volume of it, we are measuring how much space it takes up. This can also be a means of counting because once the molar mass of each element is accounted for, the number of moles (counting!) can be calculated.
What does 50cc means in food?
A metric form for measuring liquid "cubic centimeter"
What is volume used to measure?
Measuring volumeLiquid volume is measured with beakers, measuring cups, spoons, graduated cylinders, and the like. For regular objects, solid volume can be calculated. For irregular objects, their volumes can be determined by measuring the amount of liquid that is displaced by the object when it is submerged in the liquid. .See Related LinksSee the Related Link for "Metric Units" at lower left for the answer. .Supplementary AnswerUnlike some physical properties, such as length and weight, volume can not normally be measured directly - it is measured or calculated only through indirect means. A graduated beaker, for example, measures the height of a collumn of liquid, and the markings on the beaker are callibrated for the specific cross sectional area of the beaker, thus giving you an indication of the volume of the liquid within the beaker. Volume can be calculated - by knowing the dimensions and shape of the object being measured, you can calculate its volume. The volume of an irregular solid can be measured by immersing the object in a liquid, and measuring the displacement of the liquid. There are devices - such as fuel and water meters (like at a gas station pump) - that measure the flow of liquid through a chamber equipped with an impeller. As the liquid flows through the chamber, it spins the impeller, and by counting the revolutions of the impeller, the device can measure the volume of liquid that flowed through the chamber.Also, a calibrated dip stick can be used to measure the volume of liquid in a tank.The above text talks about measuring the volume of liquids. The Ancient Greek genius Archimedes realized he could measure the volume of any shape solid by submerging it in a full container of water and then measuring the volume of the water that spilled over. For regular shape solids, such as spheres, cones, cubes, etc., the volume can also be determined by measuring dimensions and applying the correct formula..Sound VolumeThe device used to measure sound volume is a dB/SPL meter and can be purchased at RadioShack. Assuming its volume were concerning here ;to measure the volume of something , u need a measuring device.depending how accurate u wish the measure to be will reflect in which device u select to use .to measure a box shape , you could use a measuring ruler .but there are other digital measuring instruments which off er much greater accuracy ; eg a vernier caliper will measure accurately an object that'ssmall enough to fit between its jaws .having taken measurements required u should adopt the use of math formulaeto solve the problem ;to find the volume of a square you would ;multiply the width 1 by width 2 ; which should be identical of course as its a square , and multiply this again by the third width to achieve the total volume.this is known as cubed .to determine the volume of a rectangular shape you would multiply the width 1 by width 2 and then multiply again the length 3
Do you use cubic centimeters to measure volume?
Yes, Cubic Centimeters or (cc) is one way of measuring volume. However it isn't the only means of measuring volume. You could conceivably measure volume in terms of any unit used to describe linear distance (i.e.inch,meters,millimeters....)
What is a graduated cylinder and how is it used?
A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware, cylindrical in shape and graduated, used to accurately measure out volumes of liquid reagents for use in reactions.Related Information:They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than beakers or Erlenmeyer flasks, although not as precise as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipette. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, or 100 ml, 500ml, and up to 2 liters. Measuring cylinders are sometimes used, if they can measure the quantity desired.Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by comparing the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) to the nearest graduation, at eye level.
What would you use to measure the amount of space a liquid occupies?
The volume of a liquid is normally measured by means of a graduated cylinder.
What is the difference between the methods of finding density of liquid than finding the density of solid?
A solid has air gaps. Density is mass per volume. Volume of the known mass of solid is determined by displacement of liquid in which the solid is insoluble. In case of liquid, the mass of known volume of liquid is determined.
Is volume displacement of a cylinder more accurate than measuring the dimensions?
Volume displacement is a good way to find the volume of a cylinder, and is probably better than simply measuring it. To measure and calculate a cylinder's volume, you must use pi, which is typically rounded to 3.14. Rounding means less accuracy, and there should be no rounding involved in volume displacement.
Does the word precise means careless?
precise means accurate
What is the volume of L of a cube measuring 10cm on each side?
Not sure what 'L' means in the question. But the volume of the cube is: 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000cm3
Can you Explain What is the relation between volume of a submerged body and volume of a displaced liquid?
Volume means how big it is, not how heavy. Submerged means it's completely underwater (or under whatever the liquid is). Displaced means pushed out of the place it was in.Experiment: Drop a 2-litre (about one US quart) bottle into a swimming pool. How big is it? Two litres. How much water does it displace? Two litres. How heavy is the water? We don't care. How heavy is the liquid in the bottle? We don't know; we don't even know what liquid it is. All we know is how big it is: two litres.The volume of a submerged body is the same as the volume of a displaced liquid.
