There are several ways of measuring Liquids from a tank. If the amount of Liquid is Large, a wood, brass, or iron ride may be placed either at the centre or at the side of the tank.

If the quantity is small, then a sheet brass, copper, or glass cylinder may be fixed to the tank by means of a small pipe as shown. A stopcock should be attached to the pipe from the tank, so as to regulate the flow of liquid into the measuring cylinder, and also a stopcock at the lower end of the measuring cylinder so that the liquid may be run off.
