Solution
Uses of a Capillary tube:
Capillary tubes are used in laboratories, industries, and households.
It is a cylindrical tube with a constant diameter that can be filled up with any gas, liquid, or solid particles.
The diameter of the capillary may range from
0
.
3
mm
-
5
mm
and the length ranges from
1
m
-
6
m
The main aim of the capillary tube is to reduce pressure.
It is used in laboratories for collecting the different samples of liquid.
It is used for checking concentrations, molarity, molality, etc.
Capillary tubes can be used in refrigeration to control the flow of refrigerants.
