About This Product
The apparatus is used to find the viscosity of a liquid from how quickly a sphere sinks through it, and to study the drag on a particle moving in a fluid. With two fluids set up side by side, students can compare them without draining and refilling between tests. Schools, colleges and institutes in Uganda, Lebanon, Albania, Zambia, Kenya and Mexico can order the Viscosity and Particle Drag Apparatus from Educational Instrument.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can two fluids be compared on the Viscosity and Particle Drag Apparatus?
Yes. The self-standing unit holds two glass tubes filled with test fluids, so they can be compared without draining and refilling between experiments.
How are the test spheres recovered?
At the bottom of the tube the sphere enters a valve; turning the valve drops the sphere into a collection vial.
