Kipp’s Apparatus, PP

It has three main portions. The top portion is fitted with a thistle funnel and a bulb structure through which dilute acid can be poured which reacts with a metal sulphide in the base of the Apparatus. H S gas then evolved 2 collects in the middle dome from where it can be released through a leakproof stopcock fitted with a self lubricating PTFE plug. The base is provided with a residual outlet fitted with a cap for easy cleaning.

The MEDILAB Kipp’s Apparatus (Polypropylene) is a classic gas-generation device designed for the controlled production of gases such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen in laboratory environments. Its three-chamber construction enables safe, continuous, and on-demand gas evolution through the reaction of acids with suitable metal sulphides. Essential for chemistry labs, academic teaching, and industrial QC/QA processes, this apparatus ensures reliable gas output while minimizing handling risks.

Key Features

  • The three-chamber design ensures steady and regulated gas generation
  • High chemical resistance, suitable for acidic and sulfide reactions
  • Leakproof PTFE stopcock for precise gas release and enhanced safety
  • Durable PP body—lightweight, shatterproof, and corrosion-resistant
  • Residual outlet at base with a cap for convenient drainage and cleaning
  • Integrated thistle funnel and bulb system for simplified acid addition
  • Clear gas-delivery tubing compatibility for easy connection to instruments
  • Safe for repetitive use in teaching and industrial labs

  • Material: High-purity Polypropylene (PP) with PTFE plug stopcock
  • Thermal Properties: Stable up to PP working temperature limits; suitable for non-heated gas reactions
  • Chemical Properties: Resistant to acids, alkalis, salts, metal sulfides, and reactive by-products
  • Mechanical Strength: Impact-resistant, non-breakable compared to glass Kipp’s apparatus
  • Quality Standard: Produced under ISO 9001:2015 compliant manufacturing

Technical Specifications

  • Capacity: Standard laboratory size (three interconnected domes)
  • Components Included: PP three-part body, PTFE lubricated stopcock, Thistle funnel with Residual outlet with screw cap, Gas outlet nozzle, and tubing
  • Tolerance: Precision-molded chambers ensure proper seal and reaction efficiency
  • Calibration: Not applicable (non-measuring laboratory apparatus)

 Handling & Precautions

  • Use only recommended reagents compatible with PP construction
  • Rinse thoroughly after each use to prevent deposits of sulfide or acid residues
  • Do not expose the apparatus to excessive heat or open flames
  • Avoid strong oxidizing agents that may degrade PP
  • Ensure proper ventilation when generating gases
  • Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight
  • Check stopcock and seals regularly to maintain leakproof operation

Applications

  • Educational chemistry labs for demonstrating gas-generation principles
  • Pharmaceutical QC/QA labs for controlled gas reactions
  • Chemical and petrochemical industries need small-scale gas output
  • Biotech and research centers for analytical and preparative gaseous reactions
  • Useful in qualitative analysis, sulfide tests, carbonate reactions, and controlled gas delivery to instruments
