A calibration container for accurately measuring a desired quantity of a selected liquid, the calibration container comprising an open-top vessel made of a substantially transparent material and having a neck portion extending vertically from a body portion thereof. Scale support ribs extend along opposite sides of the neck portion to slidably support a graduated indicator scale which has a zero indicator mark, the indicator scale attachable to the neck portion in a permanent location determined after aligning the zero indicator with a liquid meniscus formed in the neck portion and viewable through the neck portion.

A calibration container for measuring a precise quantity of liquid, the calibration container comprising: an open-top vessel constructed of a polymeric material and having a generally cylindrically shaped main body portion and a substantially transparent neck portion, the neck portion being substantially smaller in diameter than the main body portion, the neck portion extending substantially vertically from the main body portion and having at least one scale support rib extending along the length thereof; and scale means slidably supported on the neck portion of the vessel for indicating the meniscus level of a measured amount of a liquid, the scale means secured to the neck portion to establish such meniscus level, the scale means comprising a graduated indicator scale having a zero indicator pointer, the indicator slidably supported on the scale support rib and permanently attachable thereto when the zero indicator is aligned with the liquid meniscus. A method of providing and calibrating a calibration container for measuring a precise quantity of a selected liquid, comprising: forming a substantially transparent vessel having a body portion and a neck portion, the neck portion being smaller in diameter than the body portion and extending vertically therefrom, the neck portion having a pair of scale support ribs extending along the length thereof; forming an indicator scale having a zero pointer and shaped to be slidably supported on the scale support ribs; filling the vessel with a precise quantity of selected calibration liquid so that a meniscus level of the liquid appears within the neck portion; moving the indicator scale along the scale support ribs to align the zero pointer with the liquid meniscus as same is viewed through the neck portion; affixing the indicator scale to the neck portion so that the indicator scale is permanently secured at the position established by the preceding step; and removing the calibration liquid contained therein for achieving the above steps.
