Archimedean cylinder
Product Code : SCL-PLE-10409
The Archimedean Cylinder from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is a physics laboratory apparatus used to demonstrate Archimedes’ principle, buoyant force, displaced liquid, and apparent loss of weight.
Quick answer: An Archimedean cylinder pairs a solid cylinder with a matching hollow displacement vessel so students can measure the weight of liquid displaced and compare it to the apparent loss of weight of the submerged object, verifying Archimedes’ principle.

Verifying Archimedes’ Principle
The solid cylinder is weighed dry, then submerged in a liquid-filled displacement vessel; the displaced liquid is collected and weighed separately, and comparing this weight to the object’s apparent loss of weight in the liquid demonstrates that the buoyant force equals the weight of displaced fluid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does an Archimedean cylinder demonstrate?
A: It demonstrates Archimedes’ principle by comparing the weight of displaced liquid to the apparent loss of weight of a submerged object.
Q: Does it come with a matching displacement vessel?
A: Confirm with our team whether the matching hollow displacement vessel is included or ordered separately.
Q: What material is the cylinder made from?
A: Material varies by configuration; confirm the exact material with our team before ordering.
