Metal Density Cube Set (Product Code: SLE/PHY/59) is a set of seven 20 mm metal cubes used to investigate density and identify metals by measurement in physics, chemistry and materials classes. It covers brass, lead, steel, copper, aluminium, iron and tin, so learners can compare iron with steel as well as very light and very heavy metals in one physics experiment kit for school. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A popular use is the “identify the metal” challenge: a group is handed one cube, measures its edges, weighs it, calculates density and matches the answer against data-book values. With a 20 mm edge the volume works out to 8 cm³, which keeps the arithmetic manageable for younger students while still rewarding careful weighing.
Including both iron and steel makes a useful teaching point: their densities are so close that density alone cannot always separate an element from its alloy, which opens a discussion about how alloys are told apart using other properties. Tin and lead, both soft metals, show that similar-feeling materials can still differ greatly in density. Students should wash their hands after handling the lead cube.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) behind this cube set. Production takes place at the company’s own licensed factory at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India (Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414), and the sets go factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. For repeat orders or a missing cube, ask the manufacturer directly; company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Which metals are in the Metal Density Cube Set?
The Metal Density Cube Set contains seven cubes: brass, lead, steel, copper, aluminium, iron and tin. Having both iron and steel lets students compare a metal with a closely related alloy.
What is the size of the cubes in the Metal Density Cube Set?
Every cube in the Metal Density Cube Set has a 20 mm side, so each has a volume of 8 cm³ and density can be found from mass without a displacement measurement.
How is the Metal Density Cube Set different from the six-cube set?
The Metal Density Cube Set has seven 20 mm cubes and includes steel and tin. The Metal Density Cubes (Set of 6) has six 20 mm cubes and includes zinc instead.
Who manufactures the Metal Density Cube Set?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Metal Density Cube Set as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes it directly to buyers.
Is the Metal Density Cube Set suitable for identifying unknown metals?
Yes. With the Metal Density Cube Set, students calculate density from mass and the 20 mm edge, then compare it with reference values to name the metal. Iron and steel may need an extra test.
