Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic
Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic (Product Code: SLE/PHY/236) is a plastic hemisphere model used to show the force of atmospheric pressure in school science and physics classes. At 120 mm in diameter it is a large, light model, and its wooden handles give students a firm grip when they try to pull the halves apart. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Plastic Magdeburg Hemisphere Used For?
This model turns an abstract idea into a tug-of-war. Once the air between the two halves is removed, two students each take a wooden handle and pull, and they find the hemispheres held together by the air pressing on them from outside. Letting air back in releases the halves at once, which shows clearly that it is the air, not any glue or catch, that was holding them.
Its 120 mm diameter gives a useful teaching point: the force from atmospheric pressure depends on the area it acts on, so a wider sphere is held more strongly than a smaller one. Plastic keeps the model light enough for younger pupils to handle. Keep the rims clean, avoid solvents and store it away from heat. It is a practical, lightweight option among physics lab equipment for schools in India.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The version: this 120 mm plastic model or the smaller brass set with stopcock.
- Whether you want us to confirm the air-removal method and quote a vacuum pump if needed.
- The number of models for classroom demonstrations or student groups.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) that makes this plastic Magdeburg Hemisphere at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Rather than passing through a chain of traders, the model goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets, and quotations are prepared by the manufacturer itself. For repeat orders or replacement handles, ask us. More details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic?
The Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic has a diameter of 120 mm and is fitted with wooden handles. Its size makes it easy for a whole class to see, and the handles give pupils a secure grip during the pulling demonstration.
How does the plastic model differ from the brass Magdeburg Hemisphere?
The Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic is a larger 120 mm plastic model with wooden handles, while the brass version is smaller and fitted with a stopcock. Choose the plastic model for a lighter, bigger class demonstration and the brass set for use with a vacuum pump.
How is air removed from the Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic?
The method of removing air from the Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic is not stated on this page. Ask us through the contact page and we will confirm how the model you are quoted is used and whether a vacuum pump is required.
Why does the diameter of a Magdeburg hemisphere matter?
The diameter matters because the holding force comes from atmospheric pressure acting over the sphere's cross-sectional area. With its 120 mm diameter, the Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic presents a larger area than a smaller sphere, so more force is needed to separate the halves once the air is removed.
Who manufactures the Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic?
The Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to institutions, dealers and importers.
What should a quotation request for the Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic include?
A quotation request for the Magdeburg Hemisphere, Plastic should include the quantity, your delivery location and whether a vacuum pump or the brass version is also wanted. Send it through the contact page or the enquiry cart for a price from the manufacturer.
