Kipps Gas Generating Apparatus, Clear Glass

Quick answer: Kipp’s Gas Generating Apparatus (Clear Glass) is a classic three-chamber instrument that generates common laboratory gases such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide on demand, using hydrostatic pressure to control the reaction between a solid reagent and a liquid acid without a pump or external power. Kipps Gas Generating Apparatus, Clear Glass is priced at approximately ₹605 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).

Kipp’s apparatus is a long-standing piece of chemistry laboratory equipment that generates gas intermittently and automatically: as gas is drawn off, pressure drops and acid rises to contact the solid reagent, generating more gas; when the outlet is closed, pressure builds and pushes the acid back away from the reagent, stopping the reaction. This self-regulating, three-chamber design needs no pump or power supply, making it a simple and reliable way to produce small quantities of gases like hydrogen sulfide or carbon dioxide as needed during a classroom demonstration or lab experiment. The clear glass construction allows students to observe the acid level shifting between chambers as the apparatus regulates itself.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Generating hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and similar gases for classroom experiments

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Kipp’s apparatus regulate gas production automatically?

It uses hydrostatic pressure: as gas is drawn off, acid rises to contact the solid reagent and generate more gas; closing the outlet raises pressure and pushes the acid away, stopping the reaction until gas is needed again.

What gases can this apparatus generate?

It is commonly used to generate hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and similar gases from a reaction between a solid reagent and a liquid acid.

What is the difference between the clear glass and borosilicate glass versions?

The clear glass version uses standard glass construction, while the borosilicate version offers greater chemical and thermal resistance; confirm which is appropriate for your specific reagents with STEMAids.

Is this suitable for a school chemistry lab?

Yes — Kipp’s apparatus is a standard piece of school and college chemistry laboratory equipment for generating small quantities of gas on demand.

What is the chamber capacity of this apparatus?

Exact chamber capacity has not been independently verified for this listing — confirm with STEMAids before ordering for a specific classroom’s needs.

Is STEMAids a registered manufacturer of this product?

Yes. Eduscope Smart Learning Solutions Private Limited is a Udyam-registered micro manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-DL-06-0069460) and is ISO 9001:2015 certified. See the About page for full registration and certification details — manufacturer-stated, verify before citing in procurement documents.
