Capillarity tray Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12738
The Capillarity Tray by Educational Instrument India is a practical science laboratory apparatus designed to demonstrate the phenomenon of capillary action in liquids. It helps students understand how liquids rise or move through narrow spaces due to adhesive and cohesive forces.
This apparatus is commonly used in physics laboratories, general science labs, school practicals, and STEM classrooms. It is useful for explaining surface tension, adhesion, cohesion, capillary rise, and the movement of water in small tubes or porous materials.
The Capillarity Tray provides a simple and visual method for teaching how water moves upward in narrow spaces, similar to the way water travels through soil, plant stems, paper, and fine tubes. It is suitable for teacher demonstrations, student experiments, and classroom observation activities.

How to Use
Place the Capillarity Tray on a clean and stable laboratory table.
Fill the tray with clean water or a colored liquid for better visibility.
Arrange capillary tubes, strips, or porous materials as per the experiment requirement.
Observe the movement or rise of liquid through the narrow spaces.
Compare the liquid rise in tubes or materials of different sizes.
Explain how adhesion pulls the liquid upward and cohesion keeps the liquid column together.
Record the observations in a practical notebook.
Repeat the experiment with different liquids or tube sizes for comparison.
After completing the experiment, empty the tray and clean all components properly.
Dry the apparatus and store it safely.
