Product Code : SCL-PLE-10526
The Device Based on Archimedes' Principle is supplied to schools, colleges, and STEM laboratories across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, and other institutions throughout the Nordic countries, supporting hands-on demonstrations of buoyancy, displaced liquid volume, and apparent loss of weight.
Quick Answer: The Device Based on Archimedes' Principle is a physics lab apparatus that compares the weight of a solid body in air with its weight when fully immersed in a liquid, showing that the apparent loss of weight equals the weight of liquid displaced – the practical basis of Archimedes' principle.

How the Archimedes' Principle Apparatus Works
Students first weigh a solid test body in air, then lower it fully into a liquid held in an overflow vessel, capturing the displaced liquid in a collection beaker. Comparing the two weight readings shows the apparent loss of weight equals the weight of the liquid displaced – the practical basis of Archimedes' principle. For a complementary buoyancy demonstration, Lab Glassware Manufacturer also supplies the Buoyancy Apparatus, which explores the same principle using a different measurement setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the Device Based on Archimedes' Principle demonstrate?
A: It demonstrates that the buoyant force on a submerged body equals the weight of the liquid it displaces, shown through a direct weight-in-air versus weight-in-liquid comparison.
Q: Is this apparatus suitable for school-level physics practicals?
A: Yes, it is designed for school, college, and STEM laboratory use as a standard fluid mechanics and buoyancy demonstration.
Q: What liquid is used with this apparatus?
A: Water is the standard liquid for classroom use; confirm compatibility with other liquids with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before use.
