Conductivity of Metal Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Conductivity of Metal Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/H/28) turns a comparison of four metals into a timed race. Strips of copper, brass, steel and aluminium are mounted on a wooden ring and meet in the centre; when the centre is heated gently, wax placed in a hollow at the far end of each strip melts, and the difference in the time each cup of wax takes to melt shows how fast heat travels through each metal. It is a favourite for middle- and secondary-school heat lessons, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a school laboratory equipment manufacturer supplying India and international markets.

Key Details

Typical Use

Students put a small, equal amount of wax into the hollow at the end of each strip, then place a gentle flame under the centre point and start timing. Because all four strips draw heat from the same shared centre, the only thing that differs is the metal. As each cup of wax melts, students log the time, and the finishing order gives a direct ranking of conduction rates. Asking the class to predict the order first, then explaining the result in terms of how readily each metal passes on heat, makes the lesson stick.

For fair results, use the same amount of wax in every hollow, keep the flame small and centred so it does not reach the wooden ring, and let the apparatus cool before resetting the wax. With a stop clock and a data table it becomes a neat, quantitative piece of physics lab equipment for school practicals, and its open layout lets a whole group watch the wax melt.

Manufacturer

ScienceLab products, including this conductivity ring, are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, for schools, colleges and distributors. Our company profile gives an overview of the business.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Everything else a timed conduction practical usually needs:

• Stop Clock — for timing how long each cup of wax takes to melt
• Wax — for filling the hollows at the end of each strip
• Micro Burner — a small, controllable flame for gentle heating at the centre
• Conductivity Apparatus — a six-metal rod version for a wider comparison

Frequently Asked Questions

Which metals does the ring compare?
Copper, brass, steel and aluminium, each as a strip running to the centre.

How are the results measured?
By the difference in time taken for the wax in each strip's hollow to melt once the centre is heated.

Is wax supplied?
Wax is not listed among the included items; it can be ordered separately from our range.

What heat source should be used?
A small, gentle flame such as a micro burner or spirit lamp placed under the centre. A heat source is not listed as supplied.

How does this differ from the Conductivity Apparatus (SLE/H/19)?
This model uses four strips on a wooden ring and times melting wax cups; the SLE/H/19 apparatus holds six metal rods in a sheet-metal body.

Can you supply class sets or export orders?
Yes. We supply schools and distributors across India and international markets; state the quantity and destination, and warranty terms will be confirmed in the quotation.
