How do you measure the volume of a liquid accurately?
Volumetric flasks, burettes, and pipettes made for measuring small amounts of liquid are the most accurate, with tolerances of less than ±0.02. Research and testing require precise measurements, and many lab vessels are even designed to account for the liquid residue that clings inside a flask.
How do you find the volume of liquid in a container?
The basic formula for calculating the volume of a container is to multiply the length by the width by the depth. Assuming you measure all three dimensions in inches, the resulting figure will be in cubic inches.
