Boyle's Law Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in Uk
Product Code : DS-LE-10851
Quick Answer: The Boyle's Law Apparatus is a self-contained bench-top experiment in which a liquid piston of oil compresses or decompresses a trapped column of air. A digital indicator measures the change in height and a mechanical pressure gauge measures the pressure.

Key Features
Back plate holding two clear-walled cylinders, oil supplied
Hand operated pumps supplied for raising or lowering the pressure
Digital indicator for the change in height of the trapped air column
Mechanical pressure gauge for the trapped air
Thermocouple and digital display for the air temperature
About This Product
Students use the hand operated pumps to change the pressure in the reservoir cylinder, which moves the oil piston in the test cylinder and compresses or decompresses the trapped air above and below atmospheric pressure. The change in height of the air column, multiplied by its cross sectional area, gives the change in volume to set against the pressure reading. The thermocouple shows how compression and decompression affect the temperature of the gas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is the volume of air found with the Boyle's Law Apparatus? A digital indicator measures the change in height of the trapped air column, and multiplying this by the cross sectional area of the column gives the change in volume.
Q2. Is oil supplied with the Boyle's Law Apparatus? Yes. The two clear-walled cylinders are supplied containing oil, and the hand operated pumps are supplied as well.
