EUREKA CAN

Quick Answer: The Eureka Can is an aluminium displacement can with an overflow spout, designed for specific gravity experiments in the physics lab, a dependable piece of physics lab equipment India institutions choose for accurate, repeatable results as part of a broader laboratory equipment school India density and displacement collection.

Construction and Specifications

The Eureka Can features a specially extended spout pipe that assures complete collection of displaced water, providing greater accuracy in density, displacement and specific gravity experiments. The standard can measures 7.5 cm in diameter and 12.5 cm high, with a capacity of 470 mL. The overflow can is used to measure the volume of an irregular object and determine the density of an object or a liquid. It is usually used in conjunction with a catch bucket or graduated cylinder to collect and measure the displaced water. It is suitable for use with density cylinders, sinkers and Archimedes' principle devices, making it a versatile tool for demonstrating fundamental principles of density and buoyancy. Made of Aluminum, the can is anodized to provide surface hardness and prevent rusting, ensuring long-lasting durability in regular laboratory use.
