Comment: "While "graduated" is often used in small laboratory applications, e.g., "graduated flask", "graduated tank" in and of itself doesn't seem to be a term that is used. However, there is no arguing that is what it is. My solution was to translate it as follows: "Metal tank, graduated for a minimum capacity...." Thanks, Jose"
