We need to buy u-tubes for electrolysis for yr 12 chem shipwrecks and corrosion and I have no idea where to look.
No supplier has a listing under u-tubes. Any idea what is its proper name? :mad:
Thanks,
Lada :coffee:

Are they just U's or do they have a side arm coming off one side?

They are glass tubes shape of U with overflow on each arm or without. Must be wide enough to put a small graphite electrode in each open end. We use beaker with salt bridge at the moment but new teacher wants U tubes.
