Hypsometer
Hypsometer (Product Code: SCL-302/049) is a copper steam apparatus used to check the upper fixed point of thermometers and to study boiling points in school and college physics laboratories. It suits thermometry practicals because its steam-jacketed inner tube keeps the thermometer bulb surrounded by steam shielded from room air. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, and offered as thermometry apparatus for schools in India and abroad.

What Is the Hypsometer Used For?
In a thermometry practical, water is boiled in the hypsometer and the thermometer under test passes through the lid so that its bulb sits in the rising steam rather than in the water. The steam jacket around the inner tube keeps the thermometer surrounded by steam at a steady temperature, so students can check whether its upper fixed point mark reads correctly. The manometric tube shows whether the steam inside is at the same pressure as the room.
Because the boiling point of water depends on pressure, the same apparatus is used to study boiling points at pressures other than atmospheric, with a barometer reading taken on the day. Fill the vessel with enough water before heating, heat gently until steam leaves the side outlet steadily, and let the thermometer reading settle before recording it.
OEM Manufacturer
The Hypsometer is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab. As the OEM (original equipment manufacturer), the company makes this copper apparatus at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct instead of through a trader.
Schools, colleges, dealers and importers deal with the maker itself, so replacement bungs and repeat orders are handled by the same team; ask us about current availability. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Hypsometer made of?
The Hypsometer (SCL-302/049) is made of copper. Copper conducts heat well and stands up to repeated boiling, so the apparatus can be used for thermometry practicals session after session in school and college physics laboratories.
Why does the Hypsometer have a steam jacket?
The inner tube of the Hypsometer is steam-jacketed so that the thermometer is surrounded by steam shielded from cooler room air. This keeps the temperature around the bulb steady while the upper fixed point or a boiling point is being read.
What does the manometric tube on the Hypsometer do?
The manometric tube on the Hypsometer shows whether the steam pressure inside differs from the outside air pressure. Checking it lets students confirm that the boiling point they read matches the pressure recorded from a barometer.
Is a thermometer included with the Hypsometer?
The listed Hypsometer comprises the copper boiling vessel, steam-jacketed inner tube, lid with tubule and bung, side outlet draining tube and manometric tube; a thermometer is not listed. Confirm the exact scope of supply through the ScienceLab contact page when you request a quotation.
Who manufactures the Hypsometer?
The Hypsometer is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer that makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Can the Hypsometer be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes, the Hypsometer can be ordered in quantity for labs in India and international markets. Quotations come directly from the manufacturer; state the quantity, destination and any spare rubber corks you need when you enquire.
