Spirometer

Product Code : SLE/BL/044

Spirometer (Product Code: SLE/BL/044) is a recording spirometer used to measure tidal volume, respiratory rate, pulmonary ventilation, reserve volumes, vital capacity and oxygen consumption in college and senior school physiology laboratories. Its one-piece stainless steel tank holds a lightweight plastic float, calibrated 0 to 7 x 0.5 litres, that rises and falls with each breath to draw a trace on a kymograph or datalogger. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Spirometer Used For?

In a practical, the subject fits the nose clip, takes a mouthpiece and breathes to atmosphere through the lever valve until comfortable; the lever is then switched to the float and the trace begins. Quiet breathing gives tidal volume and respiratory rate, a maximal breath in and out gives vital capacity, and extra effort at the end of a normal breath reveals the reserve volumes. Multiplying tidal volume by breathing rate gives pulmonary ventilation, which students can compare at rest and after exercise.

With soda lime in the fitted container absorbing exhaled carbon dioxide, the gas volume in the tank falls steadily as oxygen is used, so the slope of the trace gives oxygen consumption for metabolic-rate work. Connect the kymograph or datalogger before starting, give each subject a clean mouthpiece, keep recordings short and stop at once if the subject feels dizzy. Because one instrument covers the full set of lung volume and ventilation practicals, it is common pharmacy college lab equipment as well as a senior biology staple.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Number of spirometers for your practical groups
  • Whether you already have a kymograph or datalogger system, which is required to record results
  • Soda lime crystals, which are not supplied with the instrument, if you plan oxygen-consumption work
  • Any calibration paperwork your purchase file needs, so it can be discussed before quotation

Frequently Asked Questions

What can be measured with the Spirometer?
The Spirometer measures tidal volumes, respiratory rate, pulmonary ventilation, reserve volumes and vital capacity. With soda lime in its fitted container, it also measures oxygen consumption, which makes it useful for metabolic-rate studies in college and senior school physiology practicals.

Is a recording device included with the Spirometer?
No recording device is included with the Spirometer; a kymograph or datalogger system is required to record results. Contact us if you need advice on connecting the spirometer to the recording equipment your laboratory already uses.

Are soda lime crystals supplied with the Spirometer?
No. The Spirometer has a container for soda lime crystals fitted to absorb exhaled carbon dioxide, but the crystals themselves are not supplied. Source them separately and replace them when exhausted so oxygen-consumption readings stay meaningful.

How is the Spirometer float calibrated?
The Spirometer float is calibrated 0 to 7 x 0.5 litres and carries a metal counterpoise, and the pen arm corresponds to approximately 0.5 litres. The float is made from lightweight plastic, in keeping with the design aim of minimum resistance to airflow.

Which breathing accessories come with the Spirometer?
The Spirometer comes with two corrugated breathing hoses 0.8 m long, two mouthpieces and a nose clip. Give each subject a clean mouthpiece and keep the nose clip on during recordings so that all exhaled air passes into the tank.

Is a calibration certificate available for the Spirometer?
Calibration documentation for the Spirometer is not described in our product details. Please ask ScienceLab before ordering, and we will confirm what calibration paperwork, if any, can be provided with the instrument for your purchase file.

Who supplies the Spirometer?
The Spirometer is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to colleges, schools and distributors in India and international markets. Send your quantity and recording set-up through the contact page for a matched quotation.
