Calorimetry (Product Code: SCL-373/014) is an electrical calorimetry experiment set used to determine the specific heat capacity of water and compare it with the table value, in senior school and college physics labs. Water is heated electrically while voltage, current, time and temperature are logged on the digital voltmeter and ammeter, a digital stopwatch and two thermometers. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The experiment rests on a simple energy balance. The heater, powered from the 1.5–12 V supply, delivers electrical energy equal to voltage × current × time, and the water absorbs it as heat equal to mass × specific heat capacity × temperature rise. Students set a steady current with the 10 Ω rheostat, read V and I on the digital meters, time the heating with the stopwatch and note the temperature rise, then solve for the specific heat capacity and compare their answer with the table value.
Weigh the water before heating, stir gently throughout so the temperature stays uniform, and take readings at regular intervals rather than relying on a single end point. The gap between the measured and table values opens a useful discussion of heat lost to the surroundings. Handle the mercury thermometer with care and follow your school's procedure if one ever breaks; the digital thermometer offers a quick second reading. For colleges comparing calorimeter experiment kits in India, this set brings the meters, supply and timing together in one order.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM that makes up this calorimetry set at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and supplies it directly to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. The company is a registered MSME enterprise whose major activity is manufacturing (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and its export shipments move under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.
Spare meters, leads or thermometers and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer itself — ask us. The ScienceLab profile explains who we are and what we make.

What does the Calorimetry set measure?
The Calorimetry set (SCL-373/014) is used to determine the specific heat capacity of water experimentally and compare it with the table value. Electrical energy from the heater is calculated from voltage, current and time, then matched against the temperature rise of the water.
Which meters come with the Calorimetry set?
The Calorimetry set (SCL-373/014) includes a digital voltmeter reading up to 19.99 V DC, a digital ammeter reading up to 19.99 A DC, a digital stopwatch, a digital thermometer and a mercury thermometer covering -10 to 110 °C.
What power supply does the set use?
The Calorimetry set (SCL-373/014) comes with power supply equipment adjustable from 1.5 to 12 V AC/DC at 3 A, together with a 10 Ω rheostat rated 3.3 A for setting a steady heater current during the experiment.
Can I see the complete packing list before ordering?
Yes. The parts listed for the Calorimetry set (SCL-373/014) cover the meters, supply, rheostat, heater, thermometers, stopwatch and eight pairs of leads. Ask us through the contact page for the complete packing list, including the heater rating, before you order.
Who manufactures the Calorimetry set?
The Calorimetry set (SCL-373/014) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Are calibration certificates available for the meters?
