Measuring liquids in gradu- ated cylinders can be tricky because the liquid surface is curved. This curved surfaces is called the meniscus . A meniscus forms because the liquid molecules are more strongly attracted to the container than to each other. To properly measure the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder you must be at eye-level and read the bottom point of the meniscus. graduated cylinder mL 50 40 30 20 10 mL 5 4 3 2 1 5 4 3 2 1 5 4 3 2 1 50 40 30 20 10 50 40 30 20 10 100 80 60 40 20 125 100 75 50 25 500 400 300 200 100 300 200 100 40 30 close - up view meniscus graduates subgraduates 1.

    Graduated cylinders are used to measure the volume of liquids. Measuring liquids in gradu-ated cylinders can be tricky because the liquid surface is curved. This curved surfaces is called the meniscus. A meniscus forms because the liquid molecules are more strongly attracted to the container than to each other. To properly measure the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder you must be at eye-level and read the bottom point of the meniscus.
