Newtons Tube (5x105)
Newtons Tube (5x105) (Product Code: SCL-293/04) is a vacuum free-fall tube used to show that a feather and a piece of metal fall at the same rate once air is removed, in school and college physics lessons on gravity. The tube measures 5 x 105 cm and weighs 0.7 kg, giving a long drop that the whole class can follow. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is Newton’s Tube Used For?
Newton’s tube answers a question students often get wrong: do heavy objects fall faster than light ones? With air inside, the teacher turns the tube upright and the metal piece drops quickly while the feather drifts down behind it. After the air is pumped out and the tube is turned again, the feather and the metal reach the bottom together.
The demonstration shows that the difference seen in everyday life comes from air resistance, not from mass, and that all bodies fall with the same acceleration due to gravity in a vacuum. It is a memorable piece of mechanics lab equipment for lessons on free fall and Galileo’s ideas. Turn the tube smoothly through a half turn each time and hold it vertical so the objects fall straight.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of tubes required for your laboratories.
- Whether a vacuum pump should be quoted with the tube — one is not listed as part of this item.
- The delivery location, so suitable protective packing for the 105 cm tube can be arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Newtons Tube (5x105) demonstrate?
The Newtons Tube (5x105) demonstrates that, without air resistance, a feather and a piece of metal fall at the same rate. In air the feather lags behind; once the air is pumped out, both land together, showing that gravity accelerates all bodies equally.
What are the size and weight of the Newtons Tube (5x105)?
The Newtons Tube (5x105) measures 5 x 105 cm and weighs 0.7 kg. Its length gives a clear drop for the feather and the metal piece, while the weight keeps it easy for a teacher to turn over by hand.
Is a vacuum pump needed for the Newtons Tube (5x105)?
Yes, a vacuum pump is needed to remove the air from the Newtons Tube (5x105) for the second part of the demonstration. A pump is not listed as part of this item, so ask us to quote a hand or electric vacuum pump with it.
Is the Newtons Tube (5x105) the same as Newton’s cradle?
No. The Newtons Tube (5x105) is a free-fall tube with a feather and a metal piece. Newton’s cradle is a different apparatus of swinging steel balls used for action and reaction; it is listed separately as Newton’s Pendulum.
Who manufactures the Newtons Tube (5x105)?
The Newtons Tube (5x105) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What should be included in a quotation request?
