Simple Kipps Appliances
Product Code : SCL-CL-11446
Simple Kipps Appliances (SKU SCL-CL-11446) is a 6 ml small-scale gas generator built on the same working principle as the classic Kipp's apparatus. Its small size and simple construction make it easy to handle, so students as well as teachers can use it, and because it runs on small amounts of reagents it is economical for class practicals. It supports gas preparation lessons in school and junior college chemistry. Science Lab Supplies provides it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The appliance is assembled from a test tube with a side tube and a tapered body, a simple safety tube, a glass tube and a Hoffman screw clamp. Its working capacity is 6 ml. The layout is designed to keep handling risk low while still showing how a Kipp-type generator starts and stops.

Applications and Experiments for the Simple Kipps Appliances
This small generator lets each student group prepare a gas themselves rather than watching a single teacher demonstration. Closing the Hoffman clamp stops the gas flow and pushes the liquid away from the solid; opening it restarts the reaction, just as in the full-size Kipp's apparatus.
- Class 9–10 science: preparing carbon dioxide or hydrogen in small quantities and testing them.
- Class 11 chemistry: studying how a Kipp-type generator controls a gas supply.
- Microscale and low-cost chemistry programmes that reduce reagent use and waste.
Even at 6 ml, acids are corrosive and some gases are flammable or toxic; students should wear eye protection and work under teacher supervision in a ventilated room.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each appliance consists of the test tube with side tube and tapered body, the simple safety tube, the glass tube and the Hoffman screw clamp, as listed above. Acids and solid reagents are not part of the apparatus and are provided by the laboratory.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Because the appliance is meant for student groups, many schools order one per bench. Tell us how many you need and the quotation will show packing, delivery time and price; the full-size Kipp's apparatus for teacher demonstrations can be listed too.
Registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. Please use the contact page or the enquiry cart for quotes, and the lab tender page for public tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the classic Kipp's apparatus?
It follows the same principle but at 6 ml, built from a side-arm test tube, safety tube, glass tube and Hoffman clamp. It uses far less reagent and is small enough for students to handle.
What does the Hoffman screw clamp do?
It closes or opens the gas outlet. Closing it builds pressure that separates the liquid from the solid and stops the reaction; opening it lets gas flow again.
Who supplies the Simple Kipps Appliances?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, contractors and distributors, together with other gas-preparation apparatus.
Can students use it themselves?
Yes. It is intended for use by students as well as teachers, with eye protection and teacher supervision because acids and gases are involved.
