What is the best graduation of a cylinder to measure medium volumes...
It needs to be a cylinder with small graduations (measurment between each mark on the cylinder)
Pleasssssse Help
Tthanks

Define 'medium volumes'. You always pick the volume of the container closest to the volume you want to measure. Larger volume containers usually have larger graduations than smaller colume containers, ie. 1000mL cylinder will usually have 10mL graduations, 100mL cylinders will usually have 1mL graduations and 10mL cylinders will usu. have 0.1 graduations.

Any beaker or measuring cylinder measures only approximate volumes as these devices are mass produced and stamped with the graduated scale.
If you want to know precise volume, use calibrated volumetric glassware eg pipettes, volumetric flasks and the like. These come in thre grades - A (the highest standard), B and C.
These devices can be calibrated by weighting water. See BS, ISO or ASTM standards for details on how to do this.
