FAQs of Jaegars Surface Tension Apparatus:
Q: How is the surface tension of a liquid measured using the Jaegars Surface Tension Apparatus?
A: Surface tension is measured by observing the capillary rise or drop of a liquid in the supplied glass capillary tube. The height is read from the graduated scale marked in millimeters, allowing calculation of surface tension within the 10100 mN/m range.
Q: What components are included with the Jaegars Surface Tension Apparatus?
A: The standard kit includes the Jaegars apparatus frame, glass capillary tube, adjustable stage, measuring scale, 100 ml beaker, and a foam-fitted, corrugated packaging box. All core components are made from durable laboratory-grade materials.
Q: When is factory re-calibration necessary for this instrument?
A: Re-calibration is recommended if the device is used extensively, after any impact or accidental damage, or when highly precise measurements are required for critical applications beyond routine laboratory exercises.
Q: Where can this apparatus be used and who benefits from it?
A: The Jaegars Surface Tension Apparatus is suitable for physics, chemistry, and chemical engineering laboratories in schools, colleges, and research institutes. It benefits educators, students, and professionals conducting surface tension experiments or demonstrations.
Q: What is the process for adjusting the liquid level for accurate measurements?
A: Precise positioning is achieved using the fine adjustment screw on the stage. This allows controlled height adjustment of the capillary relative to the liquid surface and accurate alignment for reading the meniscus from the graduated scale.
Q: How does the design enhance usability and durability during laboratory demonstrations?
A: Chemical-resistant, powder-coated metal parts and borosilicate glass ensure longevity and safety. The apparatuss sturdy, easy-to-assemble construction, and secure packaging support frequent classroom or laboratory use.
