Capillary Tube Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SLE-5759
Jlab Export is a leading Capillary Tube Apparatus Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Capillary Tube Apparatus (code EL-SLE-5759) is a simplified capillarity apparatus with three capillaries of varying bore, each fitted in a cork and held in a metallic holder above a chamber for water or oil. It lets students see side by side that a liquid climbs higher in a narrower tube, in school and college physics labs. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Is a Capillary Tube Apparatus Used For?
Surface tension pulls water up a narrow tube until the weight of the raised column balances it, and the narrower the bore, the higher the column stands. With three bores side by side, students can see this at a glance and relate it to the capillary-rise topic of class 11 physics (mechanical properties of fluids), to the surface-tension practical, and to everyday examples such as water rising through soil, paper and wicks. Filling the chamber with oil instead of water shows how the height of rise depends on the liquid as well as the bore.
For a clear result, wash the capillaries with detergent and rinse them well so no grease is left inside, wet the bores before taking a reading, and read each meniscus at eye level. Empty, rinse and dry the chamber after use, especially after oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this apparatus demonstrate?
Capillary rise: liquid climbs higher in a narrower tube. Comparing three bores at once makes the link between bore and height of rise easy to see.
How many tubes does it have, and what bores?
The listing specifies three capillaries of varying bore in three corks. The exact bores and lengths are not stated, so give any size requirement, or a different number of tubes, in your enquiry and JLab will confirm.
Can it be used with oil as well as water?
Yes. The chamber is listed for water or oil, so the same set can compare how far each liquid rises in the same bores.
Who manufactures this apparatus?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of physics demonstration and practical apparatus, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The capillary apparatus is put together at JLab’s own works, not sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy straight from the maker, each set is checked by eye before it leaves, and repeat orders go to the same people. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example the UAE in the Middle East, Ireland in Western Europe, Malawi in East Africa, Barbados in Central America and the Caribbean and Bangladesh in South Asia. The JLab lab tenders page has information for tender buyers.
