How to Calculate Capillary Rise or Depression of Fluid?
Capillary Rise or Depression of Fluid calculator uses Capillary Rise (or Depression) = (2*Surface Tension*cos(Contact Angle))/(Specific Gravity of Fluid*Radius of Tube*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*1000) to calculate the Capillary Rise (or Depression), The Capillary Rise or Depression of Fluid formula is defined as a function of Surface Tension, Specific Gravity of Fluid, Radius of Tube and Specific Weight of Water. The above expression for the capillary rise (or depression) is based on the assumption that the meniscus or the curved liquid surface is a section of a sphere. Capillary Rise (or Depression) is denoted by hc symbol.
How to calculate Capillary Rise or Depression of Fluid using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Capillary Rise or Depression of Fluid, enter Surface Tension (σ), Contact Angle (θ), Specific Gravity of Fluid (Gf), Radius of Tube (rt) & Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter (W) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Capillary Rise or Depression of Fluid calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.000191 = (2*72.75*cos(0.1745329251994))/(14*5.1*9810*1000).
