DENSIMETER

 
 School
  Spano

  Function
  For measuring the density or specific gravity of liquids and solutions.
Maker:
G. R. Duroni - Turin
Price: L 11.50 Purchase date: 1928

  Description
  It is formed by a floater of glass ballasted with lead and graduated in the upper part. It floats vertically.
  The measurement happens on the basis of the law: immersed volumes are inversely proportional to their specific weights.
  The density is read in correspondence of the water line.

BALLING'S SACCHAROMETER

 
 School
  Spano

  Function
  For measuring the amount of sugar in the beer.
Maker:
Paravia - Turin
Price: L 37 Purchase date: 1928

  Description
  It is a hydrometer used in the beer industry for measuring the amount of sugar in the must of beer and in beer.
  The scale is calibrated to have the zero at a temperature of 17,5° C. In the densimeter a thermometer is built to correct the value read at different temperatures from that of calibration. For any degree over the zero we add a tenth, while we subtract a tenth for any degree under the zero.

APPARATUS FOR PLATEAU'S EXPERIMENTS

 
 School
  Spano

  Function
  For experiments on the surface tension and on the flattening produced by the centrifugal force on a drop of oil suspended in an alcoholic solution.
Maker:
Officine Galileo - Florence
Price: L 210 Purchase date: 1931

  Description
 Besides the axe of rotation and the crank are assembled on the same support that runs along a vertical pole, so as to able to can leave the large drop of oil free in the alcoholic solution.

APPARATUS ILLUSTRATING THE PROPERTIES OF CAPILLARY TUBES

 
 School
Azuni (1),   Spano (2),   Pellegrini (3)
(1)

  Function
  To verify the Borelli - Jurin's law.
Maker:
(1) Tecnomasio - Milano
(2) Officine Galileo - Florence
(3) Lenoir - Wien
Price:
L 22
L 90
-
Purchase date:
1877
1931
1895

  Description
  (1) It is formed by four U shaped tubes, each with a branch of a one-centimeter diameter communicating with a capillary tube. The tubes are fixed on the same table and have a white celluloid graduated scale. The internal diameters of the capillary branches are different to verify the Borelli - Jurin's law.

PRISMATIC GLASS TANKS

 
 School
  Spano

  Function
  Those little tanks serve to show directly or by projection, the capillary depressions of the mercury and the rises of the liquids that wet the glass.
Maker:
Officine Galileo - Florence
Price: L 30 Purchase date: 1931

  Description
  The profiles of the meniscuses that are formed between the perpendicular walls are also arcs of equilateral hyperboles.
  The little tanks are also useful in optical experiments. When they are put near one another we obtain a pane with parallel sides of variable thickness.

PROF TRAUBE'S STALAGMOMETER

 
 School
  University (1),   University (2)
(1)

  Function
  For measuring the surface tension of a liquid.
Maker: Gerhardt - Bonn Price: L 44 Purchase date: 1914

  Description
  It is formed by a pipette that ends with a capillary tube. We obtain the measure comparing the number of the falling drops of the liquid under examination, and that of a liquid of reference.

ENDOSMOMETER OF THE DUTROCHET TYPE

 
 School
  Spano

  Function
  Measure of the endosmosis i.e. the most intense current of the osmosis.
Maker:
Officine Galileo - Florence
Price: L 60 Purchase date: 1931

  Description
  The tube of rise is applied filling the container closed by the parchment with the liquid under examination. For this the neck is polished with emery and the liquid rises in the tube for a centimetre. Then we make the celluloid scale applied to the tube slide until the zero corresponds to the free surface of the liquid. After this, we can introduce the endosmometer into the cup containing the second liquid. A ring with three rays is used to lay the endosmometer on the edge of the cup.

IMMISCIBLE LIQUIDS

 
 School
  Spano

  Function
  To show the characteristics of the immiscible liquids.
Maker:
Paravia - Turin
Price: L 92 Purchase date: 1928

  Description
  It is a bottle that contains four inmiscible and variously coloured liquids. By shaking it, we obtain a sort of emulsion, but if the bottle is left at rest the liquids separate again.
