Aneroid Barometer
Aneroid Barometer (Product Code: SCL1544/017) measures atmospheric pressure without any liquid column: a sealed brass barometric box flexes as the air pressure rises or falls, and that movement drives an indicator across the scale of a plastic cylindrical body. Physics, geography and environmental-science teachers use it for weather lessons and to show students how pressure is read in both mm Hg and pascals. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, which builds physics lab instruments in India for schools, colleges and training institutes.
Specifications
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Instrument type | Aneroid barometer with indicator |
| Body | Plastic, cylindrical |
| Pressure-sensing element | Brass barometric box |
| Longitudinal dimension | 150 mm (brass barometric box) |
| Measuring range | 700–800 mm Hg |
| Scale units | mm Hg, with an additional scale graduated in pascals |
Typical Use
In a classroom the barometer is usually placed where students can read it at the same time every day, building a pressure log they compare with the weather they observe; a reading that keeps falling over a day or two is a good starting point for discussing approaching rain or wind. Because the dial carries both mm Hg and pascals, every reading also becomes a unit-conversion exercise that links the traditional mercury-based unit with the SI unit used in textbooks.
Keep the instrument upright on a steady shelf, away from heaters, sunny windows and air-conditioning vents, because rapid temperature changes can disturb the reading, and give the case a light tap before reading so the indicator settles. Schools setting up physics lab equipment for school labs in India often keep an aneroid unit beside a mercury Fortin barometer, so learners can compare two different measuring principles side by side.
Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is based in Ambala, Haryana, and makes teaching apparatus for school, college and technical-institute laboratories; the company profile gives background on the business. The company is a registered MSME enterprise (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and its export consignments move under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.
Related Lab Equipment
Pressure and weather lessons usually call for more than one instrument. These items from the same catalogue fit the same lab sessions:
- Fortin Barometer — a mercury-column reference for comparing against the aneroid reading.
- Metal Barometer — another barometer in the range, handy when several groups or stations need their own instrument.
- Digital Hygrometer - Thermometer — adds humidity and temperature to a daily weather log.
- Vacuum Pump with Pressure Gauge — for follow-up demonstrations of pressures below atmospheric.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pressure range does this aneroid barometer cover?
It reads from 700 to 800 mm Hg, with a second scale in pascals. If your school is at a high altitude where normal pressure may fall below that band, tell us your location through the contact page before ordering.
Does the instrument contain mercury?
No. An aneroid barometer works through a sealed metal box — brass in this model — so there is no liquid to spill, which makes it easier to handle in a classroom than a mercury barometer.
Can students record readings in SI units?
Yes. Besides mm Hg, the scale is graduated in pascals, so readings can be taken directly in the SI unit and cross-checked against the mm Hg value.
How should the barometer be cared for?
Wipe the plastic body with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from heat and strong sunlight, avoid dropping it, and do not open the case, since the brass barometric box and the indicator linkage are delicate.
Is a calibration certificate supplied?
The product listing does not include one. If your institution needs calibration documentation, raise it with us through the contact page so availability can be discussed before you order.
What details help us prepare an institutional quotation?
Quote product code SCL1544/017, the quantity, the delivery address and any paperwork your purchase department requires, such as vendor registration details or a delivery schedule.
Do you supply schools and distributors outside India?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies institutions and distributors across India and in international markets; share your destination and quantity for an export quotation.
