Buoyancy Column Comparison Station
Compare objects in transparent liquid columns and explore the upward force a fluid exerts on an immersed object.
THE PRODUCT IN MOTION
See it work.
Compare objects in transparent liquid columns and explore the upward force a fluid exerts on an immersed object.
Video & text guideTHE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM
How the activity works.
A row of transparent columns and a larger adjacent column provide visible buoyancy comparisons at a shared visitor position. Buoyant force equals the weight of displaced fluid; the balance between that upward force and an object’s weight affects whether it rises, settles or remains supported. The project defines the supplied columns, objects and controls.
- 01
Inspect the objects
Compare the supplied objects and liquid-column arrangements.
- 02
Use the station controls
Run the intended buoyancy comparison.
- 03
Compare positions
Relate the visible positions to weight and displaced fluid.

Customisation, installation & support
- 01Operation and safety
- Keep columns closed and use specified fluids and objects only. Staff should inspect seals and service access.
- 02Installation
- Confirm anchors, access, visitor clearance and service space in a configuration-matched project drawing.
BEFORE AN ENQUIRY
Questions & support.
24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, remote technical guidance and long-term after-sales support. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
Explore the supportDelivery, installation & after-sales terms
- Payment
- A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
- Packaging & transport
- Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
- Materials & painted finish
- Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
- Typical power · powered versions
- Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
- Product maintenance
- Inspect controls, guards, fixings and the mechanism according to the supplied maintenance instructions.
- Installation & training
- Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
- Factory acceptance & handover
- Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
- Complimentary parts
- 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
- Warranty & repair labour
- The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.
Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?
Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.
How prototype testing & samples workWhat can we discuss for our setting?
Share the learning theme, visitor group, room plan and preferred interaction. Confirm the appearance, dimensions, controls and interpretation for the version you need.
What should we confirm before ordering?
Review the final configuration, operating instructions, power and installation needs, maintenance access and supply responsibilities with the project team.
