Drying Hose Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Drying Hose (Product Code: SCI-985/062) is a rigid glass drying tube used to hold a granular drying agent so that a gas passing through it loses its moisture before it is collected or tested. Despite the word “hose” in its name, it is listed as clear glass, 17 mm in diameter and 145 mm long, and it fits into a gas collection apparatus with stoppers and tubing. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is a Glass Drying Tube Used For?

Many gases made in school practicals, such as carbon dioxide or hydrogen, leave the generator carrying water vapour. Passing them through a tube packed with a drying agent removes that moisture, so students can collect a dry sample or show that a product such as water comes from the reaction itself and not from the wet gas. A drying tube can also sit on the open end of apparatus to stop damp room air getting in.

To prepare the tube, place a loose plug of cotton wool or glass wool at one end, fill it with granules of a suitable drying agent, plug the other end and close both ends with bored stoppers carrying short glass pipes. Pick a drying agent that does not react with the gas you are drying, and replace it when it becomes wet or caked.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dimensions of the Drying Hose?
The Drying Hose is listed as a clear glass tube 17 mm in diameter and 145 mm long. The glass is described as heat and chemical resistant, which suits its use with drying agents and laboratory gases in school and college practicals.

Is the Drying Hose flexible like a rubber hose?
No. Despite its name, the Drying Hose is listed as a rigid glass tube, not flexible tubing. It is connected into a gas line with bored rubber stoppers and rubber tubing, so handle it as you would any other glassware.

Which drying agent should be used in the Drying Hose?
Fill the Drying Hose with a drying agent that does not react with the gas being dried; anhydrous calcium chloride is common for many gases but is not used for ammonia. The drying agent is not listed as included, so order it separately if needed.

How do I fill and connect the Drying Hose?
Plug one end of the Drying Hose with cotton or glass wool, add the drying granules, plug the other end, then close both ends with bored stoppers fitted with short glass pipes. Connect these to the gas line with rubber tubing.

Who manufactures the Drying Hose?
The Drying Hose is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, bulk orders and repeat supplies are handled directly by the manufacturer.
