Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge
Product Code : LSK-E-10494
Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge (SKU LSK-E-10494) measures how fast a test engine uses fuel: students time the engine as it draws a set volume from a calibrated pipette and calculate the fuel flow rate. It fits between the fuel tank and the engine on the engine test set and works with petrol or diesel. The gauge is available through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which quotes engineering colleges, polytechnics, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table records every element of the volumetric fuel gauge in turn. At a glance, it is a precision-calibrated two-bulb pipette with control valves that mounts on the test set instrumentation frame, and all of its connections use self-sealing couplings, so it connects and disconnects quickly with minimum loss or spillage of fuel.

Applications and Experiments for the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge
Fuel first fills the pipette from the tank. A valve then cuts off the tank so the engine draws only from the pipette, and students record the time taken to use a set volume. From that time they calculate fuel flow rate, the starting point for fuel consumption and efficiency results.
- B.Tech/B.E. mechanical: specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency tests.
- Diploma mechanical and automobile engineering: measuring engine fuel consumption.
- Heat balance tests, where fuel flow gives the energy input.
- Flow measurement theory: contrasting this volume-and-time method with pressure-difference meters such as the Venturi Flowmeter on the Flow Meter Calibration unit.
Standard Scope of Supply
The gauge is supplied as the calibrated two-bulb pipette assembly with its control valves and self-sealing couplings, ready to mount on the test set instrumentation frame. The engine test set and test engines can be added to the same quotation as separate items.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you are adding one gauge to an existing bench or equipping several engine test stations, the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name. Other test-set ancillaries and engines can be quoted on the same document.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. State how many test stations need a gauge when you write via the contact page, or line it up with other ancillaries in the enquiry cart; engineering lab equipment in India procured by tender goes through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is fuel consumption measured with this gauge?
The pipette is filled from the tank, then the tank is shut off so the engine runs on pipette fuel alone. Timing the consumption of a set volume gives the fuel flow rate.
Can it be used with both petrol and diesel engines?
Yes. The gauge is suitable for use with petrol or diesel, so a single unit can serve both kinds of test engine that you run on the same bench.
Where does the gauge fit on the test set?
It mounts on the instrumentation frame and connects between the fuel tank and the engine under test through self-sealing couplings, which keep fuel loss and spillage to a minimum.
Who supplies the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge?
The pipette gauge is offered by Science Lab Supplies of Ambala, India, as a stand-alone item for an existing bench or as one line beside the engines and test set it serves.
