    Volume of liquids are measured in experiments. The volume is measured by taking reading that coincides with the lower meniscus of the liquid. There are several measuring devices used in laboratory such as beakers, measuring cylinders, volumetric pipets etc. volume measured from volumetric pipets are considered to be more precise than from measuring cylinders because they are simple, and its long neck lowers the chances of error in looking for the meniscus.
