graduation
also called measurement scale
The measurement-scale markings printed on the side of a measuring jug that make it a measuring instrument — millilitres only, millilitres and cups, millilitres/cups/ounces, or metric and imperial. It is the EXCLUSIVE differentia of MeasuringJug: a plain jug or pitcher has no graduation (it folds into Drinkware as a drinkware_type value), whereas a measuring jug is defined by being graduated. This is a FUNCTIONAL instrument feature, not decorative print (A10): you cannot measure without it, it is the reason to buy a measuring jug over a plain one, and the scale set (metric vs imperial vs cups) is a genuine buy-axis. Concern measurement, axis-eligible.
