Lung Capacity Meter
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11637
Lung Capacity Meter (SKU SCL-BLE-11637) is a breathing-measurement instrument built from a cylinder, a piston and a pipe. It covers a flow range of 60 to 900 L/min with an accuracy of 5%, so students can record and compare how much air they move when they breathe out. It is used in human-physiology and sports-science practicals in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies handles supply of the meter from Ambala, India, quoting schools, colleges, training institutes and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Lung Capacity Meter
Students blow into the pipe and the piston moves along the cylinder, giving a reading within the 60–900 L/min range. Classes use the readings to compare breathing before and after exercise or between groups. It supports CBSE/NCERT Class 11 breathing and exchange of gases and physical-education practicals.
- Class 11 biology: linking measured airflow to the terms used for lung volumes and capacities.
- Exercise physiology: recording readings at rest and after activity, then plotting class averages.
- Showing exhaled volume visually by filling Lung Volume Bags, Plastic Transparent alongside the meter.
- Relating readings to rib-cage and diaphragm movement on the Functional Human Respiratory System Model.
The meter is a teaching instrument for comparing classroom readings, not a medical device. Give each student their own mouthpiece or clean it between users.
Standard Scope of Supply
The meter is supplied as a single unit comprising the cylinder, piston and pipe described above. Any spare mouthpieces or accessories are listed on the quotation. Store it within the −20 to +40 °C storage range, and keep it in a clean, dry cupboard between practical sessions.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether the requirement is one meter for the teacher or several for a physiology lab, the quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Lung models, volume bags and other breathing apparatus can be added as further lines so everything is quoted together.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Requests reach the team through the contact page or the enquiry cart; for government or institutional tenders, start with the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flow range does the meter cover?
It reads from 60 to 900 L/min with an accuracy of 5%. That range covers the airflow produced by students blowing hard into the pipe during a classroom practical.
How is it built?
It consists of a cylinder, a piston and a pipe. Air blown into the pipe drives the piston along the cylinder, giving a reading that can be recorded and compared across a class.
Who supplies the Lung Capacity Meter?
Science Lab Supplies, from its Ambala, India base, supplies the meter and quotes schools, colleges, training institutes and distributors directly, including packing and delivery details for each order.
Can it be used for medical diagnosis?
No. It is supplied as a teaching instrument for biology and physical-education classes. For any health concern, students and staff should consult a qualified medical professional.
