Product Code : SCL-PLE-10432
The Magdeburg Hemisphere Apparatus from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is a physics laboratory device used for demonstrating atmospheric pressure, vacuum force and the effect of air pressure on sealed vessels.
Quick answer: Two hemispheres are joined and evacuated, and the resulting atmospheric pressure holds them together with surprising force, giving students a dramatic, hands-on demonstration of air pressure.

A Classic Demonstration of Atmospheric Force
This apparatus recreates a well-known historical experiment, showing students that ordinary air pressure alone can exert enough force to make two hemispheres very difficult to pull apart once evacuated. It is used together with a vacuum source such as the Vacuum Pump for Student Experiments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the Magdeburg Hemisphere Apparatus demonstrate?
A: It demonstrates atmospheric pressure and vacuum force, showing how air pressure holds two evacuated hemispheres tightly together.
Q: How is the vacuum created?
A: A compatible vacuum pump is used to evacuate air from between the joined hemispheres.
Q: Is this suitable for school and college physics labs?
A: Yes, it is designed for schools, colleges and STEM laboratories teaching vacuum and atmospheric pressure concepts.
