Pressure capsule for determining weight of air

Instruction sheet

02/06 ALF
1 Inlet valve
2 Pressure capsule
3 Outlet valve
4 Hose
1. Description
The pressure capsule is designed for demon-
strating the weight of air and determining its
density by means of comprerssion.
It is a metal capsule with a cycle valve so
that air can be pumped in and an outlet valve
at the other end.

ing scales before starting the experiment.
• Fill the pressure capsule with air, pump-
ing the piston 5-7 times.
• Mass m weigh the capsule again after it

has been filled.
• The difference m
of the air that has been pumped in.
• Set up an experiment as in Fig. 1 to de-
termine the volume of air.
• Close the glass test tube by means of a
rubber stopper with a right-angled length
of glass tubing passed through its hole.
• Plug the other end of the glass tube with
the other stopper and connect a hose to
the capsule through it.
