Bucket & Cylinder, Small
Bucket & Cylinder, Small (Product Code: SLE/PHY/27) is a compact brass apparatus used to verify Archimedes' principle at student benches in school and college physics labs. At 50 mm, 115 mm overall, it is sized for pairs or small groups who weigh, immerse and refill it themselves during a practical period. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for school physics lab equipment in India and overseas.

What Is the Small Bucket and Cylinder Used For?
Students use it to measure buoyant force for themselves. They record the balance reading with the cylinder hanging in air below the bucket, then again with the cylinder fully under water, and the difference gives the upthrust. Pouring water into the bucket until the first reading returns shows that the upthrust equals the weight of the water displaced, which is the heart of Archimedes' principle.
Because it is small, several sets fit on one bench and a narrow beaker or measuring cylinder is enough to submerge the cylinder. Encourage groups to lower the cylinder slowly so it does not touch the vessel walls, and to note each reading only after the balance stops moving. It makes an efficient addition to physics lab instruments in India where every pair of students needs its own set.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of sets, usually one per student pair or group.
- Whether you also want the larger Bucket & Cylinder, (Large) for the teacher's demonstration.
- Any balances or vessels to be included in the same quotation.
OEM Manufacturer
This small bucket and cylinder comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, which manufactures it as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and colleges, as well as dealers and importers buying for resale, order directly from the maker.
Class-set orders and later top-ups are quoted by the same manufacturer, and you can ask us about replacing an individual bucket or cylinder that has been lost from a set. Our company profile gives more background on ScienceLab.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the Bucket & Cylinder, Small?
The Bucket & Cylinder, Small measures 50 mm, with an overall size of 115 mm. Its compact size lets several student groups work at once and keeps the amount of water needed for each immersion small.
How do students use the Bucket & Cylinder, Small?
With the Bucket & Cylinder, Small, students hang the bucket from a balance and the cylinder from the bucket's hook, immerse the cylinder in water and note the loss in weight, then refill the bucket with water to show the reading restored.
What is the Bucket & Cylinder, Small made of?
The Bucket & Cylinder, Small is a simple brass unit. It has a suspension loop on top of the bucket, a hook beneath the bucket and a suspension hook at one end of the cylinder, so the parts link together without extra fittings.
Who manufactures the Bucket & Cylinder, Small?
The Bucket & Cylinder, Small is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Enquiries, class-set orders and replacement parts are handled by the manufacturer.
Does the Bucket & Cylinder, Small come with a spring balance?
