About Boyles Law Apparatus
This apparatus is designed to demonstrate Boyle's Law to the whole class.
- Wide bore glass tube mounted vertically in front of a scale graduated 0 to 60cm
- Zero corresponds to the inside of the closed (top) end of the tube
- Air is confined in the tube by a coloured oil contained in a metal pressure chamber
- Pressure chamber is fitted with a Bourdon type gauge calibrated 0 to 3.5kg cm² (0 to 50 lb/in²) actual pressure
- A valve is fitted to the air inlet tube from the pump
- As the pressure in the oil chamber is increased, oil level and its actual (total) pressure are directly indicated
- Tube is made of extra strong glass and is securely covered with transparent plastic on the front
- Overall height of apparatus approx. 690mm
Effortless Manual MeasurementOperate the hand-driven piston to adjust the gas volume within the borosilicate glass chamber. The apparatus provides a measurement range of 0 to 2 bar, with clear scale graduations for precise tracking of changes in pressure and volume, making it perfect for student demonstrations and laboratory experiments.
Robust and Safe DesignCrafted with stainless steel, nickel-plated brass, and acrylic, the Boyles Law Apparatus offers durability and chemical resistance. The stable base with anti-slip feet avoids slippage during use, while the integrated pressure relief mechanism ensures safe operation even at maximum pressure.
Reliable, Instant UseFactory-calibrated for immediate deployment, there is no need for additional calibration before use. All measurements are highly accurate, and the apparatus doesnt require electricity or batteries, making it suitable in any lab environment without power concerns.
FAQs of Boyles Law Apparatus:
Q: How do I operate the Boyles Law Apparatus for an experiment?
A: To use the apparatus, manually move the stainless steel piston to adjust the air volume inside the borosilicate glass chamber. Read the current pressure and corresponding volume using the easy-to-read millimeter and bar scales. This process demonstrates Boyles Law by showing the inverse relationship between volume and pressure.
Q: What safety features are included in the Boyles Law Apparatus?
A: The apparatus includes a pressure relief mechanism that prevents over-pressurization beyond 2 bar, as well as a stable base with anti-slip rubber feet to ensure steady operation and minimize the risk of accidents during experimentation.
Q: When is recalibration needed for this apparatus?
A: No recalibration is required before initial use, as the device comes factory-calibrated. However, periodic calibration checks are recommended after extended periods of frequent use for optimal accuracy.
Q: Where can this apparatus be best utilized?
A: This apparatus is best suited for laboratory environments, such as educational institutions, research centers, and testing labs in India requiring accurate demonstrations of Boyles Law using safe, manual equipment.
Q: What is the benefit of its manual operation and non-electric design?
A: Manual operation ensures the apparatus is portable, electricity-independent, and ready for use anywhere. This makes it safe, cost-effective, and ideal for facilities where power may not always be available.
Q: How does the pressure gauge measurement process work?
A: The built-in pressure gauge and scale display real-time pressure readings from 0 to 2 bar with a fine minimum increment of 0.01 bar, allowing users to monitor and record changes with exceptional precision during each experiment.
