Vacuum Pumps, Water Operated (Aspirator type)
This water jet pump can be used to provide suction for filter flasks & vacuum desiccators, or use to clean up spilled liquids (spilled material will end up down the sink). Your lab's faucet must have a hose barb on it to accept rubber / plastic tubing. A short length of tubing (not included) is used to connect the top of the pump to the hose barb. #C1395.... $27.95 each Ship. wt. 0.4 lb * This pump operates on Bernoulli's principle. An ideally-designed water jet pump provides a vacuum limited only by the vapor pressure of water, given sufficient water flow. Theoretically, better vacuum is achieved with cold water; at 15°C the vapor pressure of water is about 12.8 mm Hg, and at 10°C the pressure is about 9.2 mm Hg. Additional Notes: Despite their simplicity, aspirator pumps can easily produce enough vacuum to implode vessels made of glass, plastic, etc. Do not underestimate their power. Wear safety goggles when working with vacuum. Vacuum performance, as well as chemical resistance of polypropylene, generally decreases with higher temperatures. Filtering Flasks, Buchner Funnels, and Filter Paper are on their own page. We also have Hand Operated Vacuum Pumps
