Fluid Pressure Apparatus (Spouting Cylinder)
Product Code : LSK-POM-11194
Fluid Pressure Apparatus (Spouting Cylinder) (SKU LSK-POM-11194) is a 400 x 68 mm sheet metal cylinder with three equal holes at different heights down one side, used to show that water pressure increases with depth as the lower jets spout farther. It suits middle and secondary school science and introductory physics. At its Plot 448 factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies manufactures the cylinder and supplies it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The spouting cylinder's details are gathered in the table that follows. In short, it is a sheet metal cylinder 400 mm long and 68 mm in diameter, with three orifices of equal size set at different heights down one side so that their jets can be compared directly.

Applications and Experiments for the Spouting Cylinder
When the cylinder is filled with water, the jet from the lowest hole travels farthest and the top jet falls closest, showing that pressure grows with depth below the surface. It fits Class 8 and Class 11 fluid-pressure topics and is straightforward school physics lab equipment in India for any science room.
- NCERT Class 8 (Force and Pressure): showing that liquids press on the walls of their container and that this pressure rises with depth.
- Class 11 (Mechanical Properties of Fluids): relating jet reach to the depth of each hole, then measuring pressure differences on a U-Tube Manometer.
- Contrasting the unequal jets with the equal water levels in the Liquid Level Apparatus.
- Collecting the outflow from each hole in a 100 ml Plastic Graduated Cylinder to compare flow over a fixed time.
Stand the cylinder in a sink or tray during use, keep the holes clear, and dry it afterwards.
Standard Scope of Supply
The apparatus is supplied as the sheet metal cylinder described above, 400 x 68 mm, with its three equal orifices at different heights down one side. A tray, water supply and measuring vessels are not included; any measuring items you need can be added to the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Fluid Pressure Apparatus (Spouting Cylinder) demonstrate?
It demonstrates that the pressure in a liquid increases with depth. Water spouts from three equal holes at different heights, and the jet from the deepest hole is pushed out the farthest.
What are the dimensions of the cylinder?
The cylinder is made of sheet metal and measures 400 x 68 mm (length x diameter). The three orifices are of equal size and are placed at different heights down one side.
Why are the three holes the same size?
Keeping the holes equal means the only difference between the jets is the depth of water above each hole, so any change in jet distance can be put down to pressure alone.
Does Science Lab Supplies manufacture the spouting cylinder?
It does. The cylinder is fabricated in the company's own workshop at Saha, Ambala, India, and buyers receive a manufacturer's quotation directly, with no dealer involved in the sale.
