OVERFLOW CAN

Whatsapp Order


Product Description
An Overflow Can is a laboratory apparatus designed to measure the volume of irregularly shaped solid objects using the water displacement method. It typically consists of a container with a spout or outlet near the top to allow excess water to overflow when a solid object is submerged inside. Overflow cans are usually made from durable, chemically resistant materials such as plastic or stainless steel. This device is essential in physics and material science laboratories for determining volume and density accurately by capturing displaced fluid and measuring its
