U Tube
Uniform Bore Geometry: Manufactured with a consistent internal diameter throughout the radius to prevent hydrostatic anomalies, ensuring precise differential pressure readings and unobstructed gas flow during absorption processes.
Precision-Annealed Borosilicate 3.3: Fabricated from low-expansion Type 1 glass that undergoes computer-controlled thermal stress relief, providing exceptional resistance to thermal shock and corrosive reagents encountered in exothermic chemical reactions.

Quick answer: A U-Tube is a curved borosilicate glass vessel used for pressure measurement (as a manometer), gas drying, and electrolysis demonstrations in a chemistry laboratory. U Tube is priced at approximately ₹450 (indicative market benchmark, incl. GST, August 2026).
A U-Tube is a simple curved glass vessel, shaped like the letter U, used to visually monitor liquid levels for pressure measurement when filled with a manometer fluid, or to hold a drying agent for gas drying, or as a vessel for electrolysis demonstrations. Its consistent curvature gives even fluid behavior on both sides of the tube, making level differences easy to read. Made from borosilicate glass for chemical inertness and thermal stability, it’s a standard piece of equipment in college and research chemistry laboratories.
