Displacement vessel Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12735
The Displacement Vessel by Educational Instrument India is a useful laboratory apparatus designed to demonstrate liquid displacement, volume measurement of irregular solids, buoyancy, and Archimedes’ principle. It is commonly used in physics laboratories, general science labs, school practicals, and STEM classrooms.
This apparatus is also known as an overflow can or Eureka can. It is used to find the volume of an object by collecting the water displaced when the object is immersed in the vessel. The displaced water can be collected in a measuring cylinder to determine the volume of the object.
The Displacement Vessel provides a simple and effective way to help students understand that an immersed object displaces a volume of liquid equal to its own volume. It is ideal for classroom demonstrations, student experiments, and practical activities related to density, volume, and buoyancy.

How to Use
Place the Displacement Vessel on a stable laboratory table.
Fill the vessel with water until water starts flowing from the side outlet.
Allow extra water to drain out completely so the water level is exactly at the outlet.
Place a measuring cylinder or beaker below the side outlet to collect displaced water.
Tie the object with a thread if needed and slowly lower it into the vessel.
Ensure the object is fully immersed in water without splashing.
Collect the displaced water flowing out from the outlet.
Measure the collected water using a measuring cylinder.
The volume of displaced water is equal to the volume of the immersed object.
Clean and dry the vessel after use and store it safely.
