Product Code : SCL-PLE-10375
The Magdeburg Hemispheres for student experiments from Lab Glassware Manufacturer, based in Ambala, Haryana, India, are physics demonstration apparatus used to show atmospheric pressure, vacuum formation, and suction effects. Lab Glassware Manufacturer has manufactured and exported physics lab equipment since 1982 to schools and colleges worldwide, including Malta, Cyprus, and Iceland in the Small Island States of Europe region.
Quick answer: Magdeburg hemispheres are two matching hollow half-spheres that, once the air between them is evacuated, demonstrate how atmospheric pressure holds them together, illustrating vacuum and air-pressure concepts in physics classrooms.

How Are Magdeburg Hemispheres Used?
The two hemispheres are joined and the air is evacuated using a vacuum pump; atmospheric pressure then holds them together with a force students can measure by trying to pull them apart. This experiment is often paired with a Vacuum Pump for Student Experiments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Magdeburg hemispheres used for?
They are used to demonstrate atmospheric pressure, vacuum formation, and suction effects in physics classrooms.
Do I need a separate vacuum pump?
Yes. A vacuum pump is required to evacuate air from between the hemispheres; confirm pump compatibility with the manufacturer.
What does this experiment demonstrate?
It demonstrates that atmospheric pressure alone can hold the two hemispheres together once the air between them is removed.
Does Lab Glassware Manufacturer export this apparatus internationally?
Yes. Lab Glassware Manufacturer, based in Ambala, Haryana, India, exports physics lab equipment worldwide, including to Malta, Cyprus, and Iceland.
