Bar & Gauge Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/PHY/135) is a heat-expansion demonstrator used to test an iron bar against a brass gauge before and after heating, in school and college physics labs. The gauge has a cut-out that barely admits the cold bar lengthways and a hole that passes it endways only while cold, so a heated bar visibly fails both checks. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Bar and Gauge Used For?

Because the gauge checks the bar in two directions, the bar and gauge shows students that heating makes a solid grow in length and in thickness at the same time. A typical sequence is to test both fits while the bar is cold, heat the bar in a Bunsen flame, show that it no longer enters the cut-out or the hole, and then cool it and show that it fits again.

Many schools group it with a ball and ring and a bimetallic strip as a simple heat energy science kit for the thermal-expansion lesson. Hold the apparatus only by the wooden handle, never force a hot bar into the gauge, and rest the heated iron on a heat-proof mat while the class discusses the result.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the Bar & Gauge Apparatus. Each unit is built at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so buyers deal with the maker directly instead of a reseller. Schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers can ask us about repeat orders and replacement gauges or bars. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Bell In Glass Jar and Base (Product Code: SLE/PHY/137) is a vacuum demonstration unit used to show that sound cannot travel through a vacuum, along with other properties of a vacuum, in school and college physics labs. It combines a sturdy baseplate with a tap, a glass bell jar and a detachable battery-operated bell, and works with a hand pump or, ideally, an electric vacuum pump. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is the Bell in Jar Apparatus Used For?

In the classic experiment the bell is switched on, the jar is placed over it on the base, and the class hears it ringing clearly. As the pump draws air out through the tap, the sound fades even though students can still see the hammer striking, which shows that sound needs a medium to travel. Opening the tap lets air back in and the ringing returns.

Schools often teach it together with a tuning fork set as a sound wave experiment kit for the secondary science chapter on sound. A thin film of vacuum grease on the jar rim helps it seal on the plate, and the glass should be checked for chips or cracks before every evacuation.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of Bell In Glass Jar and Base units required (one per demonstration bench is typical).
• Whether a hand vacuum pump or an electric vacuum pump should be quoted with it.
• Whether connecting tubing between the tap and the pump is needed.
• Whether batteries for the bell should be included in the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bell In Glass Jar and Base consist of?
The Bell In Glass Jar and Base comprises a sturdy baseplate with a tap, a glass bell jar and a detachable battery-operated bell. A vacuum pump is not among the listed parts, so it is chosen and ordered separately to suit your lab.

Which vacuum pump works with the Bell In Glass Jar and Base?
The Bell In Glass Jar and Base can be used with a hand pump or, ideally, with an electric vacuum pump connected to the baseplate tap. The tap lets you hold the reduced pressure or let air back in during the demonstration.

Why does the bell sound fainter as air is pumped out of the jar?
In the Bell In Glass Jar and Base, sound reaches the class as vibrations passed through air. As the pump removes air, fewer molecules are left to carry those vibrations, so the ringing fades while the hammer can still be seen moving.

Is the bell in the Bell In Glass Jar and Base removable?
Yes, the bell in the Bell In Glass Jar and Base is detachable and battery-operated, so it can be taken out for changing cells or for storage. Ask us whether cells are included when you request a quotation.

Bimetallic Strip (Product Code: SLE/PHY/138) is a brass-and-steel strip used to demonstrate the unequal expansion of two metals, which makes the strip curve when it is heated in a flame, in school and college physics labs. The 200 x 15 mm strip is riveted with heat-resistant rivets and set in a well-finished wooden handle for safe holding. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Bimetallic Strip Used For?

Held in a Bunsen or spirit-lamp flame, the bimetallic strip curls because brass expands more than steel for the same rise in temperature, so the brass ends up on the outside of the curve. Students can then predict how it will bend when chilled instead, and check that it curves the opposite way.

The same effect is the working principle of thermostats, fire alarms and flashing indicator units, which makes the strip a useful bridge between physics lab equipment in India syllabuses and everyday devices. Heat the strip evenly along its length, keep the wooden handle well clear of the flame, and let the metal cool naturally before it goes back into storage.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, better known by its trading name ScienceLab, makes this Bimetallic Strip as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the strip comes straight from the maker, institutions, dealers and importers get factory-direct quotations and can ask us about repeat batches for several labs at once. See the company profile for background.

View the full Physics Lab Equipment category for related heat apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metals are used in the Bimetallic Strip?
The Bimetallic Strip is made of brass and steel riveted together with heat-resistant rivets. The strip measures 200 x 15 mm and is mounted in a well-finished wooden handle so it can be held in a flame comfortably.

Which way does the Bimetallic Strip bend when heated?
When heated, the Bimetallic Strip bends towards the steel side, because the brass expands more and forms the outer, longer side of the curve. When cooled below room temperature, it bends the other way as the brass contracts more.

What heat source should be used with the Bimetallic Strip?
A Bunsen burner or spirit lamp works well with the Bimetallic Strip. Move the strip slowly through the flame so both metals warm evenly, and hold it by the wooden handle so the hand stays well away from the heated metal.

How does the Bimetallic Strip relate to a thermostat?
The Bimetallic Strip shows the same bending that a thermostat uses: as temperature changes, a two-metal strip curves and can open or close an electrical contact. Showing the strip first helps students understand how irons, heaters and alarms switch themselves.

Who manufactures the Bimetallic Strip?
The Bimetallic Strip is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers.

Bucket & Cylinder (Product Code: SLE/PHY/140) is a brass apparatus used to verify Archimedes' principle, showing that the upthrust on a submerged cylinder equals the weight of liquid it displaces, in school and college physics labs. The cylinder hooks beneath the bucket, and the unit, listed at 60 mm with an overall size of 160 mm, suits both teacher demonstrations and individual student work. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Bucket and Cylinder Apparatus Used For?

Students record three readings. First, the bucket hangs from a spring balance by its top loop with the cylinder on the bottom hook, in air. Second, the cylinder alone is lowered fully into water and the lower reading is noted. Third, the empty bucket is filled with water while the cylinder stays submerged, and the balance returns to the first reading.

Because the solid cylinder and the inside of the bucket hold the same volume in this type of apparatus, the water added to the bucket weighs exactly as much as the upthrust lost in step two. It is a low-cost addition to physics lab instruments in India for the fluids topic. Wipe the brass dry after each class and hang the parts by their hooks so the loop and hooks keep their shape.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The product code SLE/PHY/140, since other bucket and cylinder sizes are also listed on the site.
• How many sets you need: one for a teacher demonstration or one per student group for individual use.
• Whether spring balances or measuring cylinders should be quoted with the sets.

OEM Manufacturer

This Bucket & Cylinder is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and acts as the OEM, at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Ordering from the maker means one point of contact for price, quantity and any later request for a matching bucket or cylinder.

Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules (Product Code: SLE/PHY/142) is an electrically heated calorimeter used to find the specific heat capacity of a liquid by Joule's electrical method in senior-school and college physics labs. A Constantan coil of about 6 ohms, fed through two 4 mm sockets in the ebonite lid, runs at 0.5 A (1 A maximum) inside a lagged, nickel-plated copper vessel. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Joule Calorimeter Used For?

Joule's method equates electrical energy with heat. The energy put in by the coil, voltage × current × time, or the reading on a joulemeter, is set equal to the heat gained by the liquid plus the heat gained by the copper vessel, and the only unknown left is the specific heat capacity of the liquid. Recording the temperature every half minute also lets students plot a heating graph and apply a cooling correction.

As a calorimeter experiment kit for India's Class 11 and 12 thermal physics practicals, the set needs only a low-voltage supply, meters and a thermometer. Constantan is chosen for heating coils because its resistance changes very little as it warms, so the current stays steady. Switch on only when the coil is fully covered by liquid, and keep stirring throughout the run.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of sets for your practical batch.
• A thermometer for each set, since none is supplied; state the type or ask us to suggest one.
• A low-voltage supply able to deliver 0.5 A (1 A maximum) and leads with 4 mm plugs.
• Either an ammeter and voltmeter pair or a joulemeter for measuring the energy supplied.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM for the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules and builds it at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying from the manufacturer means requests for a spare lid, stirrer or coil, and repeat orders for new batches, go to the people who make the set; ask us what is currently available. The company supplies schools, colleges, universities, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Find out more on the ScienceLab profile.

See the wider Physics Lab Equipment range for more heat apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules?
The Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules takes its name from Joule's electrical method, in which a known amount of electrical energy heats a liquid. Comparing that energy with the temperature rise gives the liquid's specific heat capacity.

How is the specific heat capacity calculated with the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules?
With the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules, the energy supplied (voltage × current × time) equals the mass of liquid × its specific heat × temperature rise, plus the same product for the copper vessel. Rearranging gives the liquid's specific heat capacity.

Can a joulemeter be used with the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules?
Yes, a joulemeter can be connected between the supply and the 4 mm terminals of the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules to read the energy directly. This saves timing and multiplying, and students can focus on stirring and temperature readings.

What current should the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules be run at?
The Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules should be run at 0.5 A, with 1 A as the maximum. Its Constantan coil is approximately 6 ohms, so a low-voltage supply is enough to drive the recommended current through it.

Does the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules include a thermometer?
No, the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules is supplied without a thermometer. Choose one that reads the temperature range of your experiment and add it to your enquiry so it can be quoted with the sets.

Who manufactures the Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules?
The Calorimeter Set, Copper, Joules is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders come from the manufacturer directly.

The aluminium calorimeter is the container in which heat is exchanged and measured. Typical practicals include finding the specific heat capacity of a metal by dropping a heated sample into cold water in the cup, measuring the latent heat of fusion of ice, and recording cooling curves. The cup itself absorbs some heat, so students weigh it empty first and include it in their heat balance.

For better results in calorimeter lab work in India's school and college labs, stand the cup inside a lagging jacket or an insulated outer container to cut heat loss, and stir with a separate stirrer so the temperature is even. Rinse and dry the cup after use; the rolled rim gives a smooth edge for handling and pouring.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of aluminium calorimeters needed for your student groups.
• Stirrers and thermometers, which are not included with the cup.
• Lagging or an outer container if you want to reduce heat loss.
• Whether you also need copper calorimeters for comparison work.
