Metal Barometer
Product Code : SCL-CL-11464
Metal Barometer (SKU SCL-CL-11464) is a dial barometer that reads atmospheric pressure with a sealed metal capsule rather than a column of mercury. It serves lessons on air pressure and weather, and lets chemistry staff note the room pressure before gas experiments. Orders are quoted and dispatched by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender buyers and distributors seeking chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
Two dimensions define this barometer, and both appear in the table below with its type and purpose: a round base 90 mm across and a dial field 57 mm in diameter, over which a pointer indicates atmospheric pressure without any mercury or liquid column to fill.

Applications and Experiments for the Metal Barometer
The barometer shows pupils that air exerts pressure, supports a daily pressure log for a school weather record and gives the room pressure needed in gas-volume work. It suits atmospheric-pressure topics in NCERT Class 8 science, Class 11 physics on fluids and geography lessons on weather instruments.
- Class 8 science (force and pressure): showing that the atmosphere exerts a pressure that changes from day to day.
- Class 11 physics: relating the dial reading to atmospheric pressure and comparing it with the liquid-column method on the U-Tube Manometer on Stand Table Model.
- Geography: keeping a weather diary that records pressure beside air temperatures read on Laboratory Thermometers.
- Chemistry practicals: recording room pressure when gas volumes are corrected to standard conditions.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Metal Barometer is supplied as a single unit with its 90 mm base and 57 mm dial field. No accessories form part of the standard supply; companion weather instruments, such as a psychrometer or thermometers, can be added to the quotation as separate lines whenever you request them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover one barometer for a staff demonstration or a batch for every science room in a group of schools. Each quotation sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name, and other chemistry lab instruments can be added to the same document.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). For a barometer price, message the team on the contact page, drop it into the enquiry cart with other weather items, or check the lab tender page if a formal bid is involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a metal barometer measure air pressure?
A sealed, partly evacuated metal capsule inside the case flexes slightly as atmospheric pressure rises or falls. A lever mechanism magnifies that movement and turns the pointer across the dial, so no mercury or liquid column is needed.
Who supplies the Metal Barometer?
The barometer is quoted, packed and dispatched by Science Lab Supplies from its base in Ambala, India. Schools, colleges, contractors and distributors can buy it on its own or together with other laboratory equipment on one order.
What size is the dial?
The dial field measures 57 mm across and is mounted on a round base 90 mm in diameter. For a second reference instrument, the Aneroid Barometer in the same range reads from 960 to 1060 hPa.
Can the barometer be included in a school lab tender?
Yes. Send the quantity, delivery location and tender item list, and the barometer can be quoted item-wise together with thermometers and other science room equipment.
Related Weather and Pressure Instruments
These instruments extend a pressure lesson or a school weather corner: a second dial barometer, humidity and temperature meters, a glass manometer and two classic demonstrations of air and liquid pressure. Each item can be added to the same quotation as the metal barometer.
