Description

A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory apparatus used to measure the volume of a liquids, chemicals or solutions. Graduated cylinders are more accurate and precise than laboratory flasks and beakers. Graduated cylinders are also used to determine displacement, which is a measurement of the change in a volume of water when additional materials are added to it.
