Quincke's Surface Tension Apparatus

Product Code : ILS-EAST-10847

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Quincke's Surface Tension Apparatus (Product ID: 10847) as part of its elasticity and surface tension range. It is used to find the surface tension of mercury by Quincke’s method.

Quick Answer

The apparatus is a circular metal plate with three levelling screws and a sensitive spirit level, so the surface carrying the mercury can be set exactly horizontal. A large, flat drop of mercury is formed on a levelled glass surface and its height is measured; the surface tension is calculated from that height and the density of mercury. Mercury is not listed as included. Mercury vapour is toxic: work over a spill tray in a ventilated room and keep a mercury spill kit to hand.
