Plastic.jpg)
Product Code : EL-POM-10355
Quick answer: The plastic overflow vessel is a Eureka can made in white polypropylene, with a spout that drains the liquid pushed out when an object is immersed. It is used to measure displaced volume and to verify Archimedes' principle, and the plastic does not rust or corrode. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How it is used
When a solid is lowered into a full overflow vessel it pushes out a volume of liquid equal to its own immersed volume, and the spout guides that liquid into a collecting vessel. Measuring the collected liquid gives the volume of an irregular object, such as a stone or a metal lump, that cannot be found with a ruler. The same measurement is the basis of the classroom test of Archimedes' principle.
- Fill the can past the spout and let the excess drain until dripping stops.
- Set a measuring cylinder or weighed beaker beneath the spout.
- Lower the object gently on a thread until it is fully immersed.
- Read the volume collected, or weigh it to find the weight of liquid displaced.
Because polypropylene does not rust or corrode, the vessel stays clean through repeated use with water.
