liquid measurement

Fluid capacity assessment

Liquid measurement is the quantification of liquids by volume rather than weight.

Standard units include cups, pints, quarts, and gallons in the U.S. system, and milliliters and liters in the metric system.

A liquid measuring cup typically has a spout and graduated markings for reading at eye level: The recipe calls for two cups of milk—use liquid measurement, not dry.
