Heat Conducto meter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Heat Conducto meter (Product Code: SLE/H/11) demonstrates the rate of heat conduction in 5 different metals — aluminium, brass, copper, nickel and steel. The rods are equally spaced on a brass disk mounted on an insulated handle, and each has a cavity in its outer end to hold paraffin, so the order in which the wax melts reveals which metal conducts heat fastest. Teachers use it as a quick, visual comparison that needs no thermometers, and it comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), a science apparatus manufacturer in India based in Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Press a small amount of paraffin wax into the cavity at the outer end of each rod. Holding the unit by its insulated handle, heat the brass disk evenly over a burner flame so that all five rods receive heat from the same source at the same time. As heat travels outward, the paraffin melts first at the end of the best conductor, and the class notes the order in which the remaining cavities follow. Because the rods are equally spaced and of identical 15 mm by 95 mm size, the comparison is fair and the ranking can be read straight off the apparatus.

Students can then relate the order they observed to tables of thermal conductivity and discuss why copper is used in heat exchangers and cookware while steel is chosen where slower heat flow is useful. Timing each melt with a stop clock adds a simple quantitative element to this physics experiment for school labs. Let the disk cool completely before cleaning out old wax, and store the unit so the rods are not bent.

Manufacturer

Made under the ScienceLab name, the Heat Conducto meter is one of many heat apparatus items from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana. The company supplies teaching laboratories throughout India and in international markets; see the company profile for more about its work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which metals does it compare?
Five: aluminium, brass, copper, nickel and steel, one rod of each.

What size are the rods?
Each rod is 15 mm in diameter and 95 mm long, mounted equally spaced on a brass disk.

Is paraffin supplied?
Paraffin is not listed as part of the unit; it is available separately (see related items) or can be sourced locally.

How do I hold it while heating?
Use the insulated handle and keep hands clear of the brass disk and rods, which become hot. Place it on a heat-resistant mat to cool.

How is it different from Thermal Conductivity Bars?
This unit uses melting paraffin on 5 metals heated from a common disk, while the bars use a strip thermometer on 4 metals dipped in warm water.

What warranty and delivery terms apply?
These are confirmed on your quotation. Send SLE/H/11, quantity and destination, in India or abroad, through the contact page.
