Capillary Tube Set Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Capillary Tube Set (Product Code: SLE/CH/77) is a ready-mounted demonstration piece in which 4 glass capillary tubes of different inner diameters rise from a common, larger reservoir tube. Pour in a liquid and the class sees at once that it climbs highest in the narrowest bore, giving students the evidence they need to draw their own conclusions about capillary action. Designed for middle-school and secondary science teachers, it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and arrives on its own stand with a Teacher’s Guide.

Specifications

Typical Use

Because all four capillaries share one reservoir, the liquid starts at the same level in each, so any height difference can only come from the tube width. That makes the set a clear, fair-test capillary tube experiment: students record the level in each tube, rank them by bore, and relate the result to adhesion between water and glass and to surface tension. The same observation helps explain how water rises through soil, paper towels and the xylem of plants, linking chemistry and physics lessons to biology.

Stand the set on a level bench, fill the reservoir slowly so no air bubbles lodge in the narrow tubes, and add a drop of food colouring so the columns can be seen from the back of the room. Comparing plain water with soapy water is a simple extension that shows how lowering surface tension changes the rise.

Manufacturer

The set is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, from its base in Ambala, Haryana, India, where it produces glass apparatus and demonstration equipment for science teaching. The company is a registered MSME enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) and holds Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade for export consignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many capillary tubes are in the set?
Four glass capillary tubes, each with a different inner diameter, rising from one larger reservoir tube.

Does it need a separate stand?
No. The set comes mounted on its own stand, so it can be placed directly on the bench.

Is teaching guidance included?
Yes, a Teacher’s Guide is supplied with the set to help plan the demonstration and discussion.

What liquid works best?
Coloured water is ideal for classrooms. Avoid leaving coloured or sugary liquids to dry inside the narrow tubes, as residue can block them.

How do I clean the capillaries?
Flush the reservoir with clean water several times so fresh water rises through each capillary, then let the set drain and dry upright.

Can you supply sets for every lab in a school group?
Yes, bulk orders for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets are welcome — share quantities through our contact page.

What about warranty on the glass parts?
Warranty terms are confirmed at quotation. Contact us for details.
