Communicating vessels
Product Code : SCL-PLE-10396
The Communicating Vessels Apparatus from Lab Glassware Manufacturer, based in Ambala, Haryana, India, is a physics laboratory demonstration instrument used to show how liquid levels equalize in connected vessels under the same pressure. Lab Glassware Manufacturer has manufactured and exported physics lab equipment since 1982 to schools, colleges and universities across countries including Palau, the Marshall Islands, and Micronesia in the North Pacific Micro-states region.
Quick answer: Communicating vessels apparatus consists of differently shaped containers connected at their base; when filled with liquid, the liquid rises to the same level in each, demonstrating that hydrostatic pressure depends only on depth, not container shape.

What Does This Apparatus Demonstrate?
When liquid is poured into one of several interconnected vessels of different shapes, it settles to the same height in each, regardless of shape or volume, illustrating that hydrostatic pressure at a given depth is independent of the container’s shape — a foundational concept in fluid mechanics.
