Hand Vacuum Pump

The Hand Vacuum Pump is a portable manual pumping device developed for laboratory applications where a convenient source of vacuum or positive air pressure is required. Its hand-operated construction eliminates the need for electricity, making it easy to integrate into a variety of experimental setups.

Manufactured from durable plastic, the pump combines lightweight handling with a robust construction suitable for repeated laboratory operation. Its compact design also makes it convenient to store, transport, and connect to compatible tubing and apparatus.

Micro Technologies supplies the Hand Vacuum Pump with the capability to produce a vacuum of approximately 500 mmHg under suitable operating conditions. This makes it useful for experiments involving reduced air pressure, vacuum effects, gas behaviour, and related pressure phenomena.

The pump provides an approximate displacement of 15 ml per pumping stroke. Repeated operation progressively removes air from a compatible sealed system, allowing the desired reduced-pressure condition to be established.

An important feature of the pump is its sealed and self-lubricating mechanism. This design helps simplify routine operation and reduces the need for frequent lubrication or complicated servicing.

In addition to creating a vacuum, the pump can be configured for positive-pressure applications. By changing the working arrangement, it can be used to produce air pressure as high as approximately 2 atm, substantially expanding its range of possible experiments.

The manual operating mechanism provides direct control over pressure changes, which is useful when gradual evacuation or pressurization is required. It can be connected to suitable tubing, vessels, pressure apparatus, and compatible experimental accessories.

With its dual vacuum/pressure capability, durable plastic body, self-lubricating construction, and electricity-free operation, the Hand Vacuum Pump provides a practical solution for a wide range of laboratory pressure and vacuum applications.

FAQs

What is a Hand Vacuum Pump used for?

A Hand Vacuum Pump is used to manually remove air from a compatible sealed system and create reduced-pressure conditions for vacuum, pressure, and gas-related experiments.

How much vacuum can the pump produce?

The pump can provide a vacuum of approximately 500 mmHg under suitable operating and sealing conditions.

What is the pumping capacity per stroke?

The pump displaces approximately 15 ml of air per pumping stroke.

Can the pump also produce positive pressure?

Yes. By changing the appropriate operating arrangement, the pump can also be used to establish positive air pressure.

What positive pressure can it generate?

The pump can generate positive pressure of up to approximately 2 atm under suitable conditions.

What material is the pump made from?

The pump is manufactured primarily from durable plastic, providing a lightweight and practical construction.

Does the pump require electricity?

No. It is completely hand operated and does not require an electrical power source.

Does the pump require regular lubrication?

The pumping mechanism is designed to be sealed and self-lubricating, reducing routine lubrication requirements.

Can it be connected to laboratory tubing?

Yes. It can be used with suitable compatible tubing and pressure/vacuum apparatus, provided secure and airtight connections are maintained.

Can the pump be used for both evacuation and pressurization?

Yes. Its configuration allows it to function as both a manual vacuum source and a positive-pressure source for compatible applications.

How should the Hand Vacuum Pump be maintained?

Keep the pump clean and dry, avoid introducing liquids or contaminants into the mechanism, inspect tubing connections regularly, and store it away from excessive heat or aggressive chemicals.
