Communicating vessels with capillaries Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12719
The Communicating Vessels with Capillaries apparatus by Educational Instrument India is a practical physics laboratory instrument designed to demonstrate the principles of communicating vessels, capillary action, liquid level behavior, surface tension, adhesion, cohesion, and hydrostatic pressure. It helps students observe how liquid behaves in connected vessels and how narrow capillary tubes can affect liquid rise due to surface tension.
This apparatus is ideal for school physics laboratories, college science labs, STEM classrooms, and educational training institutes. It provides a clear visual demonstration of fluid statics and capillarity, helping students understand why liquids in normal communicating vessels settle at the same level, while liquid in capillary tubes may rise or fall depending on tube diameter and liquid properties.

How to Use Communicating Vessels with Capillaries
Place the apparatus on a flat, stable, and dry laboratory table.
Check that all connected vessels and capillary tubes are clean and properly fixed.
Pour water or a suitable colored demonstration liquid slowly into the filling vessel or reservoir.
Allow the liquid to flow through the connected vessels and settle naturally.
Observe the liquid level in the wider connected vessels and note that it reaches the same horizontal level.
Observe the liquid level inside the capillary tubes and compare the rise in tubes of different diameters.
Record the height difference between liquid levels in the normal vessels and capillary tubes.
Use the observation to explain hydrostatic pressure, communicating vessels, surface tension, and capillary action.
Repeat the experiment using clean water or colored water for better visibility if required.
After use, empty the vessels, clean the tubes carefully, and store the apparatus in a dry place.
Educational Applications
