This hand operated vacuum pump is made of a durable polychloroethylene plastic with a gauge to measure vacuum in mm of mercury or pascals. This plastic pump can easily provide a vacuum of 25-27 in/Hg by pumping its handle. By changing its working mode, the pump can be used to establish air pressure as high as approximately 2 atm. It is fitted with a valve to release the vacuum without disconnecting the pump. It is often used in conjunction with buchner funnels. This pump is used to create a vacuum, not to hold a vacuum. It comes with approximately 2 feet of tubing. Uses of this product are for middle school physical science experiments, vacuum filtering, siphoning, leakage checking, and pumping and indirect transporting of liquids. You could also use this for other applications such as automotive or light air-conditioning work. It is light weight, small volume, easy to carry and easy to use.
