Measuring cylinder - Mesushirindaa (English spelling) measuring cylinder

A cylindrical container with a disc-shaped base and a scale on the side wall for measuring the volume of liquid. It is usually made of glass, but some are made of synthetic resin. As a volumeter stipulated by the Weights and Measures Act, it is used to measure the internal volume, but in chemical experiments it is often used to dispense a certain amount of liquid with rough accuracy. One way to use it is to submerge a solid whose mass has been measured in advance into a graduated cylinder containing an appropriate amount of liquid that will not dissolve the solid, and determine the volume from the rise in the liquid level to measure the specific gravity.

Japanese:

側壁に目盛りを付した、液体の体積を測定する円盤状の台座をもつ円筒状の容器。通常はガラス製で、合成樹脂製のものもある。計量法で定められた体積計としては、内部容積を測定する受用(うけよう)であるが、化学実験では一定量の液体を粗い精度で分け取る出用(だしよう)に使われることが多い。受用の使用法としては、あらかじめ質量を測定した固体を、その固体を溶かさない液体を適量入れたメスシリンダーに沈め、液面の上昇から体積を求め、比重を測定する方法がある。
