Hare's Tube Apparatus

Product Code : SCL-AM-12258

The Hare's Tube Apparatus is a physics laboratory apparatus used for comparing the densities of two liquids by measuring the heights of liquid columns formed in connected tubes. It is suitable for schools, colleges, physics labs, properties-of-matter lessons, STEM classrooms, distributors, and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

The Hare's Tube Apparatus from Science Lab Supplies is listed as Hare Apparatus, product code LSK-POM-11184. It comprises a three-limbed tube mounted on a polished stand with a 45 cm meter scale, with zero at the bottom and divisions in centimetres and millimetres.

This apparatus supports density-comparison experiments in properties of matter and hydrostatics. Students use the relative liquid-column heights to compare liquid densities after suction is applied to the short limb. The product page states that a spare tube is available on demand and that the unit is supplied without rubber tube and pinch cock.

Key Features

• Three-limbed tube design: supports comparison of liquid-column heights during density experiments.
• 45 cm meter scale: includes a scale with zero at the bottom for column-height readings.
• Centimetre and millimetre divisions: helps students record height differences more systematically.
• Polished stand: provides classroom-ready mounting for the tube assembly.
• Density-comparison use: designed for comparing densities of liquids using column-height measurements.
• Spare tube option: spare tube is available on demand as per the product listing.
• Honest supply note: rubber tube and pinch cock are not supplied with the listed apparatus.

Technical Specifications

What's Included in the Kit

• 1 × Hare's Tube Apparatus with three-limbed tube
• 1 × Polished stand with 45 cm meter scale
• Spare tube: available on demand

Applications / Uses

• Comparing densities of two liquids in school and college physics labs
• Teaching pressure, liquid columns, hydrostatics, and properties of matter
• Demonstrating the relation between liquid density and column height
• Supporting practical work on relative density and specific gravity concepts
• Helping students prepare observation tables, calculations, and practical records

How to Use the Hare's Tube Apparatus

1. Place the apparatus upright on a stable laboratory bench.
2. Keep the three-limbed tube clean and check that the scale is readable.
3. Place the two liquids for comparison in separate containers below the outer tube limbs.
4. Attach suitable rubber tubing and pinch cock if required by the experiment setup.
5. Apply gentle suction through the short limb to raise both liquids in the tubes.
6. Close the suction line and allow the liquid columns to settle.
7. Measure both column heights using the 45 cm scale.
8. Use the height readings to compare the relative densities of the liquids.

Safety note: Use only under teacher or technician supervision. Do not use hazardous liquids unless approved by the laboratory, avoid mouth suction, and handle glass tubing carefully to prevent breakage.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the glass tube after use and remove liquid residue before storage.
• Store the apparatus upright or safely packed to protect the tube from impact.
• Keep the scale dry and readable for accurate height readings.
• Inspect the tube, stand, and joints before each practical session.
