As others have said a graduated cylinder of different lengths widths measure capacities. In auto jargon graduated cylinders are used to "cc" cylinder head combustion chambers. A perpendicular laboratory test stand with clamps firmly hold the graduated pipette cylinder with a neck and spigot at the bottom. The cylinder head is held with the rectangular flat surface perfectly Laval in both pains. A ground polished glass plate with a core drilled hole is sealed to one combustion chamber with silicone (clear) grease. The tube in this case a graduated pipette is filled with thin red oil and is allowed to slowly fill the combustion chamber. As the chamber fills, the pipette valve is closed enough to allow one drop of fluid to in the ground glass hole at a time. When the the meniscus (curved Laval of fluid) touches the bottom the hole in the glass plate the valve at the pipette neck is closed. The laval of dispensed fluid is recorded and documented. Cylinder heads for Chevrolet engine range from the "Dart Platinum" @ 49cc's. The older Chevy brand heads, @ 76cc's. The smaller the chamber causes higher compression. Why do engine builders do this? To be absolutely sure all chambers are the same cc"s. The tube is laboratory measuring tool.

It's a measuring cylinder that comes in glass or plastic with graduated markings on the size similar to a measuring cup. It's long and narrow with a base and spout.
