- When the lower end of a vertical glass tube is placed in a liquid such as water, a concave meniscus form.
- Adhesion forces between the fluid and the solid inner wall pulls the liquid column up until there is a sufficient mass of liquid for gravitational forces overcome these intermolecular forces.
- The contact length (around the edge) between the top of the liquid column and the tube is proportional to the diameter of the tube, while the weight of the liquid column is proportional to the square of the tube’s diameter, so a narrow tube will draw a liquid column higher than a wide tube.
- Various Sizes Available (Tubes Can Be Cut to Specific Lengths to Suite Customer’s Needs) “No longer than 1500 mm”.
