Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids
Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids (Product Code: SCL-381/010) is a stand-mounted measuring set used to find the density of solid bodies from their mass and volume in school physics and general science labs. Its test bodies share one shape and size but differ in material — wood, plastic, bronze, aluminium, iron and lead — so students compare densities directly. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Density of Solids Apparatus Used For?
Density is mass divided by volume, and this set gives students both halves of the calculation. Each body is weighed on the scale or hung from the spring scale by its cotton thread, and its volume is found by lowering it into water in the 250 ml cylinder and reading the rise in level. Because every body has the same shape and size, their volumes match, so the class sees at once that the heavier bodies are simply the denser materials.
The steel base and rods form a rigid stand from which a body can hang freely, which also suits the weigh-in-air, weigh-in-water method: the apparent loss of weight in water equals the upthrust and leads to the volume. The wooden body usually floats, opening a discussion on why materials less dense than water do not sink. As mechanics lab equipment for secondary schools and colleges in India and overseas, the set works well with the student experiment descriptions and reports offered for it.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of sets required for your student groups.
- The weighing range your practicals need, so we can confirm the scale and spring scale supplied with the set.
- Whether the student experiment descriptions and reports should accompany the order.
- Any spare cylinders or additional test bodies you would like quoted alongside.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM that builds this density apparatus. The company is incorporated under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and produces the steel stand, rods and accessories at its licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414).
Schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy the set factory-direct, and replacement rods, cylinders or test bodies as well as repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer itself — ask us. Learn more on the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are the test bodies made of?
The Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids includes test bodies of identical shape and size in different materials such as wood, plastic, bronze, aluminium, iron and lead, so students can compare the densities of materials without any difference in volume.
How is the volume of each body measured?
With the Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids, volume is normally found by displacement: the body is lowered on its cotton thread into water in the 250 ml cylinder and the rise in level is read. Weighing in air and then in water gives a second check.
What is the stand of the density apparatus made of?
The Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids stands on a 200 x 125 mm mild steel base with two 600 x 12 mm mild steel rods and a 200 x 10 mm steel rod, giving an especially stable and safe setup for hanging the bodies.
Are student experiment sheets available?
Yes. Student-suitable experiment descriptions with reports are available for the Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids. Mention them in your enquiry so that they can be included with the sets you order for your laboratory.
Who manufactures the Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids?
The Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied directly to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Can several sets be ordered, including for export?
Yes. The Apparatus for Measuring the Density of Solids can be supplied in multi-set quantities to institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send the number of sets and the delivery destination through the contact page for a quotation.
