Metal Barometer
Metal Barometer (Product Code: SCI-093/021) is a mercury-free barometer used to measure atmospheric pressure in school physics, geography and weather-study lessons. Students read pressure changes on its dial, and the instrument has a 90 mm base diameter with a 57 mm field (dial) diameter. As part of the physics lab equipment range, it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is a Metal Barometer Used For?
A metal barometer works on the aneroid principle: a sealed, partly evacuated metal capsule flexes slightly as air pressure changes, and a linkage turns the pointer across the dial. In class, students log readings over several days and link falling pressure with unsettled weather and rising pressure with fair conditions. Carrying the instrument between floors of a tall building also shows how pressure drops with height.
For schools building a weather corner, it is a practical item of geography lab equipment alongside a thermometer and a humidity meter. Tap the case gently before each reading to free the pointer, and keep the barometer away from heaters, direct sunlight and draughts so that temperature changes do not disturb the result.
OEM Manufacturer
The Metal Barometer comes direct from its OEM, Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and manufactures the instrument at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.
Schools, colleges, dealers and importers get quotations straight from the maker rather than through a trader, and questions about repeat orders or replacement parts go to the same source — just ask us. Our company profile has more background.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Metal Barometer measure air pressure?
The Metal Barometer uses a sealed metal capsule that expands or contracts as atmospheric pressure changes. A mechanical linkage converts that small movement into pointer travel on the dial, so no mercury or other liquid is needed.
What size is the Metal Barometer?
The Metal Barometer has a base diameter of 90 mm and a field (dial) diameter of 57 mm. Other details, such as the scale range, are not listed here, so please ask us through the contact page before ordering.
How is a metal barometer different from a mercury barometer?
A Metal Barometer contains no liquid, so it is compact, portable and safe to handle in a classroom. A mercury instrument such as a Fortin barometer reads the height of a mercury column and is used mainly for fixed reference measurements.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Metal Barometer?
The Metal Barometer is supplied as a teaching instrument for showing pressure changes. If your laboratory needs a calibration certificate, please discuss the requirement with us through the contact page before placing the order.
Who manufactures the Metal Barometer?
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, is the OEM manufacturer of the Metal Barometer. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and quoted directly to institutions, dealers and importers.
Can the Metal Barometer be ordered in bulk or for export?
Yes. ScienceLab supplies the Metal Barometer in single units or bulk quantities to buyers in India and international markets. Send the product code SCI-093/021, the quantity and the delivery location through the contact page for a quotation.
