Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular)
Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) (Product Code: SCL213/06) is a plain rectangular steel sheet used for measurement and surface experiments in school physics practicals. At 12 cm x 8 cm it is a handy piece for students to measure with a scale, vernier calliper and screw gauge, work out area, volume and density, and compare sliding friction on a metal surface. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Steel Sheet Used For?
A common physics practical is to find the density of a regular solid. Students measure the length and breadth of the sheet with a metre rule or vernier calliper, read its thickness at several points with a screw gauge, multiply to get the volume, then weigh the sheet and divide mass by volume. The plain, flat surface makes repeat readings consistent.
The same sheet also serves as a smooth metal surface in friction activities — a wooden block pulled across it gives a different spring-balance reading from wood on wood or on sandpaper. As one of the simpler physics practical equipment items, it is worth keeping one per bench so each group can measure independently. Handle the edges with care and wipe the sheet dry after use.
OEM Manufacturer
This steel sheet is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — the company behind the ScienceLab brand — as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Production is at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and the sheets go out factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Since the maker quotes and supplies it, sheets can be ordered alongside the measuring instruments used with them in a single enquiry. Read more on the ScienceLab profile.
Related Physics Lab Equipment
Instruments and items used with the sheet in measurement and friction work:
- Screw Gauge — measures the thickness of the sheet.
- Vernier Calliper — measures length and breadth more finely than a rule.
- Physical Balance (Digital) — gives the mass needed for the density calculation.
- Wooden Block Small Size — slide it over the steel surface to compare friction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular)?
The Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) measures 12 cm x 8 cm and has a plain surface. Its thickness is not stated in the listing, so ask ScienceLab through https://scilabexport.com/contact if your worksheet needs that value in advance.
What material is the Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) made of?
The Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) is made of steel with a plain pattern and is described as chemical resistant. Wipe it clean and dry after each class so the surface stays suitable for measurement and friction work.
How is the Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) used to find density?
To find density with the Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular), measure its length and breadth, take the average thickness from screw-gauge readings, and multiply for volume. Weigh the sheet on a balance and divide the mass by the volume.
Who manufactures the Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular)?
The Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Enquiries and quotations are answered directly by the manufacturer.
Can the Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) be ordered for a whole class?
Yes. The Metal/Steel Sheet (Rectangular) can be ordered in class quantities, and ScienceLab supplies schools, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Give the number of sheets and your delivery location when you request a quotation.
