Viscosity Apparatus by Stoke's Method

The Viscosity Apparatus by Stoke's Method is a high-quality laboratory apparatus developed to accurately determine the coefficient of viscosity of glycerine, castor oil, and other viscous fluids using Stoke's Law. Manufactured by Micro Technologies, the apparatus is widely used in physics laboratories, engineering colleges, universities, schools, and scientific research institutions.

The apparatus consists of a precision transparent graduated glass tube mounted vertically on a rigid support stand. The transparent construction allows clear observation of the falling steel ball while the graduation markings enable accurate distance measurement during experimentation.

The experiment is based on Stoke's Law, which states that a sphere falling through a viscous fluid eventually attains terminal velocity. By measuring the time taken by steel balls of known diameter to travel a fixed distance through the liquid, the coefficient of viscosity can be accurately determined.

The apparatus is supplied with steel balls of different diameters, enabling multiple experimental observations and improved measurement accuracy. A precision screw gauge (20 × 1 mm) is included for measuring the diameter of the steel balls accurately.

The setup also includes an experimental liquid (glycerine), a glass funnel for convenient filling of the tube, a stop clock for manual timing, and a measuring tape for experimental measurements. Rubber bands of different colours are supplied for marking reference points during observations.

The sturdy laboratory stand ensures excellent vertical alignment and stability throughout the experiment, minimizing measurement errors. The apparatus is suitable for repeated classroom demonstrations as well as detailed laboratory investigations.

For enhanced accuracy, an optional Digital Timer with Photo Gate Unit can be used to automatically measure the time taken by the falling sphere, reducing human observation errors.

Every Viscosity Apparatus manufactured by Micro Technologies undergoes rigorous quality inspection to ensure dimensional accuracy, reliable performance, and long service life.
