2016 Philos. & Technol. 29 106 Gimingham used a modified Sprengel pump of his own design to obtain a vacuum of 10−8 atmospheres in 1884.
b. attributive in other compounds, and in the genitive, designating the same apparatus.

1939 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 24 June 1288/2 The apparatus..consists of a Sprengel's pump, which can be fitted to almost any tap, a 6-ft. length of tubing, and a milk-collecting bottle.
a1964 in Biogr. Mem. Fellows Royal Soc. (1965) 11 188 During my last year in the sixth form, I made a Sprengel's air pump and tried to make a small carbon filament electric light bulb.
2. Sprengel tube n. (also Sprengel's tube) (a) the vertical tube forming part of a Sprengel pump (obsolete); (b) a glass U-tube that narrows to a capillary at each end, used to determine the specific gravity of a liquid by comparing its weight when filled with the liquid and with water at the same temperature.

1866 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 156 409 The bag was pressed flat by the hands, and still further exhausted by means of Sprengel's tube. After all the contents of the bag were extracted and the collapse complete, the Sprengel tube began again to throw out air in a slow but exceedingly regular manner.
1879 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 36 197 The use of Sprengel's tube..has given much better results [than a specific gravity bottle].
