Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge (Product Code: SLE/EE/01) is a pipette-type fuel meter used to measure how much fuel an engine consumes during bench tests in engineering and automotive laboratories. Students time the engine as it draws a set volume from a precision-calibrated two-bulb pipette, then calculate the fuel flow rate for petrol or diesel engines. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM and engineering lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Measuring element | Precision-calibrated two-bulb pipette |
| Flow control | Control valves, including a valve that cuts off the tank supply so the engine draws fuel from the pipette only |
| Filling | Fuel enters the pipette from the fuel tank |
| Installation | Mounts on the instrumentation frame of the engine test set and connects between the fuel tank and the engine under test |
| Couplings | Self-sealing couplings for quick connection and disconnection with minimum loss or spillage of fuel |
| Suitable fuels | Petrol or diesel |
| Measurement method | Time taken to consume a set volume of fuel, from which the fuel flow rate is calculated |
| Product code | SLE/EE/01 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
The gauge is the fuel-consumption instrument of an engine test bench. With the engine held at a steady speed and load, the student closes the tank valve so the engine runs from the pipette alone, then times how long it takes to use the marked volume. Dividing that volume by the elapsed time gives the volumetric fuel flow rate, the starting point for specific fuel consumption, brake thermal efficiency and energy-balance calculations.
Because every reading is taken by eye and stopwatch, the principle stays visible to learners instead of being hidden inside a sensor, which makes it a sound choice among lab equipments for technical institutes running IC engine practicals. Take several timings at each load point and average them, and reopen the tank valve between readings so the pipette refills before the next measurement.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) behind this fuel gauge. The gauge is made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplied factory-direct to engineering colleges, polytechnics, training institutes, dealers and importers rather than through a trader.
Because the manufacturer handles your order itself, questions about replacement pipettes, valves or couplings go straight to the people who build the unit – just ask us. More about the company is on our company profile.

What does the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge measure?
The Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge measures an engine's fuel consumption by timing how long the engine takes to use a set volume of fuel from its calibrated two-bulb pipette. From that time and volume, students calculate the fuel flow rate used in efficiency and specific fuel consumption work.
Can the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge be used with diesel engines?
Yes. The Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge is suitable for petrol or diesel, so one gauge can serve both spark-ignition and compression-ignition engines on the same test set. Drain the pipette when changing fuels so that readings are not affected by a mixture of the two.
How is the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge connected to the engine?
The Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge mounts on the instrumentation frame of the test set and connects between the fuel tank and the engine under test. Self-sealing couplings let staff connect and disconnect it quickly with minimum loss or spillage of fuel.
Is a stopwatch included with the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge?
A timer is not listed as part of the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge, so plan to use a stopwatch or the timing facility of your bench. If you would like a stopwatch quoted with the gauge, mention it in your enquiry on our contact page.
Who manufactures the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge?
The Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Orders, spares queries and repeat supplies are handled directly by the manufacturer rather than through a trading intermediary.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge?
The pipette of the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge is precision calibrated, but certificate availability should be discussed with us before ordering. Tell us in your enquiry if your institution needs a calibration certificate so we can confirm what accompanies the quotation.
What details should a quotation request for the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge include?
A quotation request for the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge should state the quantity, the engine or test set it will be used with, whether matching engines are also needed, and the delivery destination in India or abroad, so we can quote the complete fuel-measurement setup.
To order the Manual Volumetric Fuel Gauge, send your requirement through our contact page or add it to the enquiry cart. Quotations come direct from the manufacturer, for engineering institutions in India and international markets.
