Set of Springs (Product Code: SCL-485/01d) contains five rust-resistant steel spiral springs of different stiffness, each with a hook at one end, for investigating how springs stretch under load. Because the elastic constants span 20–80 N/m, students can compare soft and stiff springs in a single lesson. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, it serves as a ready Hooke law spring kit India schools can use for class practicals.

Hang a spring by its hook from a stand, fix a ruler beside it, and add known masses in equal steps. Plotting extension against force gives a straight line whose slope is the spring constant, and repeating the test with each of the five springs shows how stiffness varies across the set. Groups can then combine two springs in series or in parallel and predict the new constant before measuring it.
The same springs work as the core of an SHM experiment kit India teachers use for oscillation studies: pull a loaded spring down a little, release it, and time several oscillations to find the period, then compare how the period changes with mass and with stiffness. Keep loads modest so each spring returns to its original length when unloaded, which is the sign it has stayed within its elastic limit.
The springs are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company whose educational products carry the ScienceLab name and are sent to schools and colleges nationwide. Visit the company profile for background on the business.
A spring investigation also needs a support, loads, a scale and a timer; these catalogue items complete it:

How many springs are in the set and how stiff are they?
There are five steel spiral springs, with elastic constants in the range 20–80 N/m. For the constant of each individual spring, please ask us via the contact page.
Will the springs rust in a humid laboratory?
They are made of rust-resistant steel. Wiping off moisture after use and storing them dry will keep them in good condition for longer.
Do the springs have hooks at both ends?
Each spring has a hook at one end for hanging. Masses can be attached at the other end using a hooked mass or a small loop of thread.
Can I use the springs without a stand?
You need some rigid support to hang them from; a laboratory stand with a rod is the most convenient option and keeps the spring vertical beside a ruler.
How do I avoid damaging a spring?
Add load gradually and remove it if the spring no longer returns to its unloaded length. Store the springs unstretched and separately so the coils do not tangle.
Do you supply multiple sets for group practicals?
Yes. Mention the product code SCL-485/01d and the number of sets; we supply institutions across India and international markets.
