    I don't know why I am confused but I can't figure out the results for my mag test.

    There was fluid left in the syringe to the 0.2 line but the black part of the syringe was at 0.4, there was a gap between.
    I've done the test twice with the same results.

    Can someone PLEASE help figure out the results?

    Turn the syringe upside down and read where the top black part is.

    Do you count each line of the ml or the large numbers?

    Wherever the top of the black plunger is, is the result. Count the small lines too. 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 ect

    Pay no mind to the air bubble; only the plunger.
