Applications and Experiments for the Air Pump
The pump draws air out of a vessel connected to its plate, so students can see what happens when the air pressure inside is reduced. It suits lessons on air pressure and sound from Class 8 to Class 11, making it practical school physics lab equipment in India for demonstration benches.
- NCERT Class 9 (Sound): evacuating the jar of the Bell Experiment Apparatus, which is specified for use with this pump, to show that sound needs a medium.
- NCERT Class 8 (Force and Pressure): showing atmospheric pressure by pumping the air out of Magdeburg Hemispheres.
- Linking other vessels to the tubing connection; laboratory tubing such as the Rubber Tube (Laboratory) can be quoted alongside.
- Class 11 gas-pressure and kinetic theory topics that call for reduced-pressure demonstrations.
Glass vessels under vacuum can implode: cover the glassware with a safety screen, keep students at a distance and let air back in slowly through the air inlet screw.
Standard Scope of Supply
The pump is supplied as described above: the single steel-pipe barrel on its wooden base with the aluminium plate, stop cock, air inlet screw and tubing connection, in the 12.5 cm or 15.0 cm size ordered. Bell jars, hemispheres and tubing are separate items that can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quote covering a single pump for the teacher's bench or several pumps for parallel demonstrations. The quotation from Science Lab Supplies sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity named, and the bell experiment or hemispheres can be priced on it too.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia and Peru. Reach the team through the contact page, list the pump in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page when buying through a formal tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes is the Air Pump (Vacuum Pump with Aluminium Plate) offered in?
Two sizes are listed, 12.5 cm and 15.0 cm. State the size you need on the enquiry, or ask for both on one quotation if different classrooms need different set-ups.
Which demonstrations can the pump be used for?
It suits classroom demonstrations that need air removed from a vessel, such as the bell-in-a-vacuum experiment for sound and Magdeburg hemispheres for atmospheric pressure. The Bell Experiment Apparatus is specified for use with this pump.
What are the barrel and base made of?
The single barrel is made from steel pipe and is fitted on a wooden base. The plate is aluminium, with a stop cock, an air inlet screw and a connection for rubber pressure tubing.
Is this pump made by Science Lab Supplies?
It is. The company manufactures the air pump in its own plant at Saha, Ambala, India, and sends quotations as the producer, so specifications and delivery are confirmed at the source.
