Boyle's Law Apparatus

Product Description

Boyles Law Apparatus Description of Boyles Law Apparatus The bench-mounting equipment includes a back plate that holds two clear-walled cylinders containing oil (supplied). Students use hand-operated pumps (supplied) to increase or decrease the pressure in the left-hand cylinder (the Reservoir) which moves a liquid piston of oil in the right- hand cylinder (the test cylinder). This piston compresses or decompresses a trapped column of air in the test cylinder. The equipment uses normal, clean, dry air, as it behaves as an ideal gas over the range of pressures used in this equipment. A digital indicator measures the change in height of the trapped air column. When multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the column, this gives the change in volume. A mechanical pressure gauge measures the pressure of the trapped air. Experiments Demonstrations of gas temperature change during compression and decompression.Proving Boyles Law by experiment Operating Conditions Operating environment: LaboratoryStorage temperature range: 25C to +55C (when packed for transport)Operating temperature range: +5C to +40COperating relative humidity range: 80% at temperatures < 31C decreasing linearly to 50% at 40C
