Vacuum Pump with Pressure Gauge (Product Code: SCL1429/013) is a mechanical or electrical installation with a minimum power of 90 W that both removes air from, and pumps air into, the apparatus used to study gas processes. Through its tap, air can be exhausted down to a pressure of 130 Pa, and by pumping, a pressure of up to 0.3 MPa can be obtained, while the pressure gauge lets the class follow each change. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for schools that want a single physics instruments supplier in India for pump and accessories.

| Application | Experiments for studying gas processes |
Connected to a glass bell on its sealed support, the pump draws out the air so students can watch a partly inflated balloon swell, water begin to boil at room temperature, or a ringing bell fade into silence as the medium for sound is removed. The same pump evacuates a Newton's tube for the free-fall demonstration and supports other experiments on gases where pressure is the variable being changed. In pumping mode it raises the pressure inside suitable apparatus, so the class can explore how a gas responds to compression.
Check hoses and seals before each lesson, close the tap to hold a vacuum once the gauge shows the pressure you want, and open it slowly to let air back in. Only pressurise vessels that are intended to take pressure – never ordinary thin glassware – and keep students behind a safe line when glass is under vacuum.
ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, which supplies gas-law and pressure apparatus to schools and colleges. The company is incorporated under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and manufactures at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).

Our Lab Equipment category lists further apparatus for pressure and gas experiments.
Is the pump hand-operated or electric?
The specification covers a mechanical or electrical installation with a minimum power of 90 W. Tell us your preference and we will confirm the drive type in the quotation.
How low a pressure can it reach?
Through its tap, air can be exhausted down to a pressure of 130 Pa, which is enough for the usual school vacuum demonstrations.
Can it also be used to compress air?
Yes. By pumping, a pressure of up to 0.3 MPa can be obtained. Use this only with vessels designed to hold pressure.
Is a bell jar or tubing included?
They are not listed in the specification. The Glass Bell on The Support and Vacuum Tubing can be ordered alongside the pump.
How should the pump be looked after?
Keep the inlet free of dust, do not let water or vapour be drawn into the pump, and store it with the connections capped. For servicing questions, contact us through the contact page.
Is a calibration certificate available for the gauge?
Please discuss any calibration-certificate requirement with us before ordering, and we will tell you what can be provided.
Do you ship to other countries?
Yes, we supply institutions and distributors in India and international markets. Share the destination and quantity with your enquiry.
