About This Product
A small quantity of water is boiled vigorously in the can until steam occupies the space inside. The cap is then screwed down tightly and the heat source removed. As the can cools, atmospheric pressure is increasingly exerted on it until it collapses noisily. Export supply of the Crushing Can 260 X 75mm can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Italy, Togo, Oman, Haiti, Slovenia and Niger.
