Fluid Pressure Apparatus, Hydraulic Press
Product Code : LSK-POM-11206
Fluid Pressure Apparatus, Hydraulic Press (SKU LSK-POM-11206) is a demonstration model of the hydraulic press: plated cylindrical tubes of different diameters, each with a piston, are linked by a tube at the bottom so that pressure applied on one piston is passed through the liquid to the others. It serves Class 9 and Class 11 physics and polytechnic fluid lessons. Science Lab Supplies manufactures it at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and offers it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each fact about this hydraulic press model has its own row in the table. In short, it is a set of plated cylindrical tubes of different diameters, each fitted with a piston carrying a circular loading disc, joined by a connecting tube at the bottom and mounted on a base.

Applications and Experiments for the Hydraulic Press Apparatus
Students load masses on the piston discs and see that pressure applied to the enclosed liquid is passed on undiminished, so a small force on the narrow piston can balance a larger force on the wide one. The apparatus suits Class 9 and Class 11 pressure topics and polytechnic introductions to hydraulics.
- Class 9 science: thrust and pressure, comparing the load each piston carries with its area, using masses such as the Laboratory Slotted Masses, 2.5 kg on the discs.
- Class 11 physics: verifying Pascal's law and the force multiplication of a hydraulic press, alongside the metal-and-plastic Hydraulic Press Model.
- Polytechnic and ITI lessons: relating the model to hydraulic jacks, lifts and brakes, for example with the Hydrostatic Pressure Mechanical Brake Model.
Place masses gently and evenly on the discs, and keep the base on a level bench while taking readings.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each apparatus comes as described above: the plated cylindrical tubes of different diameters with their pistons and loading discs, the connecting tube at the bottom and the base. Masses for loading the discs are not included and can be quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be prepared for one apparatus or for several identical sets for group practicals. It gives the price for that quantity together with the packing and the delivery time, and slotted masses or other pressure apparatus can appear on the same document.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. As a science apparatus manufacturer in India, it handles requests through the contact page and the enquiry cart, while institutional bids follow the steps on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What principle does the hydraulic press apparatus show?
It shows the transmissibility of fluid pressure, known as Pascal's law: pressure applied at one piston travels through the liquid in the connecting tube to every other piston, so the wider piston can support a larger load.
Why are the tubes of different diameters?
Pressure equals force divided by area, so the same pressure produces a larger force on a wider piston. Tubes of different diameters let students load the discs and compare the forces needed to keep the pistons balanced.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. Science Lab Supplies builds this apparatus in its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, so the price and delivery date on your quotation are set by the maker, with no trading firm in between.
Are masses supplied for the loading discs?
No masses come with the apparatus. Slotted masses can be added to the same quotation, and the circular disc at the top of each piston is there to carry them during the experiment.
