Pascal's Sphere

Product Code : SCL1225/011

Pascal's Sphere (Product Code: SCL1225/011) is a complete demonstration of Pascal's law: a hollow sphere with 10 equidistant nozzles, connected to a hand pump whose plunger applies pressure to the fluid inside. Push the plunger and fluid leaves every nozzle with equal force in all directions, showing that a change in pressure in a fluid is transmitted equally to all its parts. Supplied with instructions, it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its educational laboratory equipment in India for fluid-pressure lessons.

Typical Use

The sphere is filled with water, the teacher pushes the plunger steadily, and thin jets spring from all the nozzles at once – upwards, downwards and sideways alike. Because the jets leave with equal force whichever way the nozzles point, students can see that the pressure applied at the pump is passed on undiminished throughout the liquid. The lesson leads naturally to hydraulic jacks, presses and vehicle brakes, where a small force on a small piston produces a large force on a larger one.

Carry out the demonstration over a sink or a large tray, and push the plunger smoothly rather than in jerks for even jets. After class, empty out the water, let the sphere and pump dry, and check that no nozzle is blocked, since a blocked opening spoils the symmetry of the display. Follow the supplied instructions for filling and use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many nozzles does the sphere have?
It has 10 equidistant nozzles, so jets appear in every direction when pressure is applied.

Which liquid should be used?
Clean water is the usual choice for classroom demonstrations. Use the instructions supplied with the apparatus for filling and operation.

Are instructions included?
Yes, the apparatus is supplied with instructions.

Why do the jets leave with equal force from every nozzle?
The plunger raises the pressure of the enclosed liquid, and that increase is transmitted equally in all directions, which is exactly what Pascal's law states.

What materials are the sphere and pump made from?
Materials are not listed in the current specification. Please ask through the contact page if your tender or purchase order needs them stated.

Can you supply several units for a school network or distributor?
Yes, bulk quantities can be quoted for institutions and distributors in India and international markets. Include the product code SCL1225/011.
