Archimedean cylinder Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-PLE-10409

The Archimedean cylinder is a physics laboratory apparatus used for demonstrating Archimedes’ principle, buoyant force, displaced liquid and apparent loss of weight. It is designed for schools, colleges and STEM laboratories where students need a practical way to verify buoyancy using measurable observations.

Product Description

The Archimedean Cylinder from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is used in hydrostatics and fluid mechanics experiments. It helps students compare the apparent loss of weight of an immersed object with the weight or volume of liquid displaced by that object.

This apparatus is suitable for teacher demonstrations and student practicals involving water, a spring balance, overflow vessel and measuring cylinder. Exact cylinder material, dimensions, volume, mass, hook design and supplied accessories should be confirmed before final publication or tender submission.

Key Features

• Demonstrates Archimedes’ principle through direct classroom observation.
• Useful for buoyancy, upthrust, displacement and density experiments.
• Suitable for school physics labs, college labs and STEM practical rooms.
• Can be used with a spring balance, overflow can and measuring cylinder.
• Supports hands-on verification of apparent loss of weight in water.
• Simple manual apparatus for repeated educational use.
• Material, volume and dimensions must be confirmed from the final model.

Technical Specifications

Standards / CertificationsNo certification confirmed. Add only if verified by datasheet or compliance document.

What's Included in the Kit

• Archimedean cylinder main unit

Applications / Uses

• Verifying Archimedes’ principle in school physics laboratories.
• Demonstrating buoyant force and upthrust in water.
• Comparing weight in air with apparent weight in liquid.
• Measuring displaced liquid using a compatible measuring cylinder.
• Using a Beginner Spring Balance to record apparent weight change.

How to Use the Archimedean Cylinder

1. Place the overflow vessel, beaker and support stand on a stable bench.
2. Fill the overflow vessel with water until excess water stops flowing.
3. Hang the Archimedean cylinder from a suitable spring balance.
4. Record the weight of the cylinder in air.
5. Immerse the cylinder fully in water without touching the vessel sides.
6. Collect the displaced water in a beaker or measuring cylinder.
7. Record the apparent weight of the cylinder while immersed.
8. Compare the apparent loss of weight with the displaced water measurement.

Safety note: Keep the stand stable, wipe spilled water immediately and handle metal cylinders carefully to avoid dropping them on glassware or feet.

Care & Maintenance

• Dry the cylinder immediately after water experiments to reduce corrosion risk.
• Clean the hook and suspension point before storage.
• Store the apparatus in dry packing to prevent scratches or dents.
• Do not use corrosive liquids unless material compatibility is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Archimedean cylinder used for?

An Archimedean cylinder is used to demonstrate Archimedes’ principle, buoyant force, upthrust, displaced liquid and apparent loss of weight.

Can this apparatus be used in school physics labs?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school and college physics laboratories where students study hydrostatics and fluid mechanics.

Does it include a spring balance?

Spring balance inclusion is not confirmed. Add it only if the final supplied kit includes one.

What liquid is used for the experiment?

Clean water is commonly used for classroom Archimedes-principle experiments, unless the teacher specifies another compatible liquid.

What material is the cylinder made from?

The material is not confirmed. Add chrome-plated metal, brass, stainless steel or another material only after checking the final product specification.

Which principle does the apparatus demonstrate?

It demonstrates Archimedes’ principle: an immersed body experiences an upward buoyant force related to the fluid it displaces.
