Beehive Shelves Porc

Product Code : LSK-CL-10044

Beehive Shelves Porc (SKU LSK-CL-10044) is a porcelain beehive shelf, glazed inside and out, used in a pneumatic trough to support an inverted gas jar while gas is collected over water. It belongs to the gas-preparation practicals of secondary school chemistry, college general chemistry and teacher training. For school laboratories, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, Science Lab Supplies provides the shelf from its base in Ambala, India.

Specifications

The glazed porcelain beehive shelf is described row by row in the table. In brief, it is a porcelain shelf with glaze on both its inner and outer surfaces, made for use in a pneumatic trough when gases are collected by displacement of water. Its dimensions are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Porcelain Beehive Shelf

The beehive shelf is used in experiments where a gas that does not dissolve readily in water is collected by downward displacement of water. The delivery tube is led beneath the shelf in the trough, and the gas bubbles up into the water-filled jar standing inverted on top of it.

• Class 10 and 11 chemistry: collecting oxygen or hydrogen over water, for example from a Kipps Apparatus generator.
• Testing collected oxygen or hydrogen with Wood Splints, glowing for oxygen and burning for hydrogen.
• College general chemistry: collecting the gas produced in a reaction for volume work.
• Teacher-training labs: setting up standard gas-preparation assemblies.

Standard Scope of Supply

Each unit is one porcelain beehive shelf, glazed inside and out, supplied on its own. The pneumatic trough, gas jars, delivery tubing and gas generator are not included; they can be added to the same quotation so that a complete gas-collection bench is priced and dispatched together.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Quotations are available for a single shelf or for one per bench across a whole practical class. Each one sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and porcelain items can be packed to travel with other chemistry lab equipment in India on the same order.

Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Price a full gas-collection bench by listing the shelf, trough and jars on the contact page or in the enquiry cart; school boards and departments issuing a tender will find the procedure on the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a beehive shelf used for?
It stands in a pneumatic trough and supports an inverted, water-filled gas jar, so that gas from a delivery tube led beneath it can be collected over water and then tested or measured.

What does "Porc" mean in the name?
It is short for porcelain. The shelf is made of porcelain and carries a glaze on both its inner and outer surfaces; the glaze covers both faces of the shelf that stand in the trough water during gas collection.

Who supplies the Beehive Shelves Porc?
Science Lab Supplies, based in Ambala, India, supplies the shelf. It can be quoted on its own or bundled on one quotation with troughs, gas jars, generators and the other gas-preparation apparatus your laboratory needs.

Is a pneumatic trough included?
No. The shelf is supplied by itself; a trough, gas jars and delivery tubing are separate items and can be listed on the same quotation so that the whole collection set-up arrives together.
