Foot Pump
Product Code : JA-ELA-5232
The Foot Pump (SKU JA-ELA-5232) is a pedal-operated air pump for the physics laboratory, used with Boyle's law apparatus or anywhere a manual source of compressed air or a stream of blown air is needed. A metal cylinder carries a pressure gauge on its outlet and a piston worked by a foot pedal, and a flexible hose ends in a standard automobile tyre valve connector. JaincoLab makes it for school and college physics practicals.
Specifications
The foot pump uses a metal cylinder with an outlet pressure gauge at one end and a pedal-driven piston at the other, pushing air through a flexible hose to a tyre valve connector; the table lists each part as given in the product data.

Applications of the foot pump for Boyle's law apparatus
The foot pump for Boyle's law apparatus supplies air under pressure by pedal action, so a student can raise the pressure on a trapped gas column with both hands free while reading the gauge and the volume scale of the apparatus.
- Pressurising Boyle's law apparatus in pressure-volume experiments
- Manual compressed-air supply for other laboratory set-ups
- Blowing air through apparatus where a stream of air is needed
- Demonstrations of air pressure in school physics
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers one foot pump with pressure gauge, flexible hose, tyre valve connector and a set of adaptors for connecting the hose to different inlets. The Boyle's law apparatus itself is a separate item. Accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
Minimum order quantity, lead time and packing are confirmed on each quotation for the number of pumps and the delivery destination. School, college and tender quantities are supplied.
Frequently asked questions
What is the foot pump used for?
