What has greatest capillary action?
The narrower the bore of the tube ,the greater is the capillary action. For example :A sponge retains water (on being dipped in water)is due to capillary action.
The rise of water in a narrow test tube is called?
The rise around the edges is called the meniscus, like capillary action this is caused by the adhesion of the liquid molecules to the walls of the container. In a large bore tube like a test tube or graduated cylinder this pulls up the edge and creates a concave meniscus, in a smaller bore tube this actually pulls the liquid toward the top of the tube.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a capillary tube?
Capillary tubes are used in a variety of applications including medical, thermometers, science, and technology. Advantages of capillary tubes are: 1. They are inexpensive and simple. 2. No maintenance is required because they have no moving parts. 3. In technology, they reduce the starting torque of the motor by providing an open connection between the condenser and the evaporator Disadvantages : 1. They cannot adjust themselves to changing flow conditions 2. They are susceptible to clogging because the bore is so narrow. A filter should be used to prevent entry of particles or moisture. 3. In technology, specially refrigerant and HVAC, flooding of the evaporator may occur and damage to the compressor may result upon start up.
What is mean by NB in using valve measurement?
nominal bore
How are bore and stroke given in the metric system?
Use mm instead of inces
How should you do to increase the accuracy of the thermometer?
using a thin capillary bore using a thick glass stem
Why the capillary tubing has a uniform bore?
As a metering device you need uniformity

The capillary tubing has a uniform bore in a mercury thermometer?
yes ! to insure linearity
What is a thermometer bore?
A bore refers to the extremely fine or narrow tube found in a thermometer. It is called a narrow bore or a capillary.

What are the advantages of using re manufactured engines?
one thing is the block has been heated and cooled so muchthat the new bore and crank alignment stays better

What can you use instead of bore oil?
Cork grease. :)
Why does a mercury-in-glass laboratory thermometer have a narrow capillary bore?
To increase the sensitivity of the thermometer, that is, for the thermometer to respond quickly to small changes in temperature.
