                  Measuring CaPaCity

                  The quantity of a liquid that a container or vessel can hold is called its capacity or volume.

                  Vessels of different sizes used to measure different quantities of liquid are shown below.

                                                                                      Project

                  A vessel marked with scales can also be used to measure quantities of liquid.

                  units of Measuring Capacity

                  Litre and millilitre are standard units of capacity.

                                       Millilitre                                             Litre
                       •  Small quantities of liquids are measured   •      Large quantities of liquids are measured

                        in millilitre.                                      in litres.
                       •  It is denoted by 'mL'.                           •  It is denoted by 'L'.
