Voltameter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Voltameter (Product Code: SLE/CH/179) is a compact electrolysis unit with platinum electrodes and two graduated test tubes of 10ml capacity, mounted on a base with terminals for connection to a direct-current supply. Teachers use it to split water into its gases and let students compare the volumes collected at each electrode, making it a dependable piece of electrolysis apparatus for Indian school and college laboratories. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

For the classic electrolysis of water, water made conductive by a little dilute acid is placed around the electrodes, the two graduated tubes are filled completely and inverted over the platinum electrodes, and a low-voltage DC supply is connected to the terminals. Bubbles rise at both electrodes almost at once, and after a few minutes students can read the volumes directly from the graduations: the tube over the negative electrode collects hydrogen at roughly twice the volume of oxygen gathered over the positive electrode.

Platinum is used because it is inert and is not eaten away during electrolysis, so the only products are the gases themselves and the electrodes last for many sessions. The unit also supports simple quantitative work, such as showing that the volume of gas grows with the time the current flows. Switch off the supply before either tube empties completely, confirm the gases with a glowing or lighted splint away from the supply, and rinse the apparatus with clean water after the lesson without touching or bending the electrodes.

Manufacturer

Related Chemistry Lab Equipment

Useful items for powering the voltameter or extending electrolysis work:

• Power Supply Variable — a DC source that lets students vary the current and compare gas output.
• Connecting Wire — to link the terminals to the power supply.
• Hoffman Voltameter — a larger alternative for demonstrations to a whole class.
• Voltameter, Copper — for studying electrolysis through the mass of copper deposited.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the electrodes made of?
Platinum, which stays unchanged during electrolysis and gives clean gas collection.

How much gas can each tube hold?
Each of the two graduated test tubes has a capacity of 10ml, so volumes can be read directly without a separate measuring cylinder.

Is a power supply included?
No power supply is listed. Connect a low-voltage DC source to the terminals on the base; ask us if you would like one quoted with the voltameter.

How is this different from a Hoffman voltameter?
This unit uses two graduated test tubes over electrodes mounted on a base, making it compact for student benches, whereas a Hoffman voltameter is a larger all-glass apparatus often used for class demonstrations.

How should the platinum electrodes be looked after?
Rinse them with clean water after use, avoid touching or bending them and never scrape them with abrasives.

Is a calibration certificate or warranty provided?
Please discuss documentation and warranty terms with us through our contact page; they are confirmed with each quotation.
