Displacement Vessel/Eureka Can-201, Pascal Apparatus – 202, Manometer-203

A Eureka can (or displacement can) is a specialized laboratory beaker with a spout used to accurately measure the volume of irregular solid objects via water displacement. By filling it to the brim, submerging an object, and collecting the overflow, the volume of water displaced equals the object’s volume.
