Hoffman Voltameter Stand (Product Code: SLE/CH/146) is a metal stand with a support clamp, made to hold a Hoffman’s voltameter securely upright during electrolysis experiments, and it is supplied with a 600 mm rod. A Hoffman’s voltameter is tall glassware, so a dedicated stand keeps it steady and vertical while students watch gas collect and read the volumes. Chemistry and physics teachers, lab assistants and demonstrators use it wherever electrolysis of water is taught, and it is a sensible companion purchase for anyone sourcing electrolysis apparatus in India. The stand is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

In the classic demonstration, water made conductive with a little acid or salt is electrolysed in the Hoffman’s voltameter: hydrogen collects above one electrode and oxygen above the other, with roughly twice as much hydrogen as oxygen by volume. For those volumes to be read fairly, the side tubes must stand truly vertical and must not shift when the taps are opened or the leads are connected. The support clamp holds the voltameter in that position, and the 600 mm rod gives enough height to set the apparatus at a comfortable viewing level on the bench.
Stand the base on a level bench, fit the rod, then close the clamp gently around the voltameter — firm enough to hold it, never so tight that it stresses the glass. Route the electrical leads so they cannot catch on the stand, and wipe away any spilled electrolyte promptly to protect the metal parts. Schools in India equipping a chemistry lab for class demonstrations will find that ordering the stand with the voltameter avoids improvised clamping on general-purpose retort stands.
The stand is manufactured by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which produces metal stands, clamps and teaching apparatus in Ambala, Haryana. Because it is made for use with the Hoffman’s voltameter, buyers can source the stand and the glassware from the same maker and receive them together, whether the order is for a school in India or for international markets.

An electrolysis demonstration also needs the voltameter itself, a power source and a way to watch the current; these items complete the set-up.

Is the voltameter included with the stand?
No. This listing covers the metal stand, support clamp and 600 mm rod. The glass voltameter is available separately as the Hoffman Voltameter.
How long is the rod?
The stand is supplied with a 600 mm rod.
Will it hold a voltameter we already own?
The clamp is made for a Hoffman’s voltameter. If yours is from another maker, send its dimensions through our contact page and we will check the fit.
What finish does the metal have?
The finish is not specified on this page. Please ask us if your lab requires a particular finish.
Can the stand be used for other apparatus?
Its clamp is intended for the voltameter. For general clamping work, a standard retort stand with universal clamps is the better choice.
Is there a warranty?
Warranty terms are stated on each quotation; ask when you enquire so they are clear for your order.
Do you supply sets for several labs or export?
Yes. Send the product code SLE/CH/146, quantity and delivery address; we supply institutions in India and international markets.
To price the Hoffman Voltameter Stand, with or without the voltameter, write to us through the contact page or add both items to the enquiry cart.
