Steel Wire Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Steel Wire (Product Code: SCL250/024) is a steel test wire used for elasticity and other wire-based experiments in school and college physics laboratories. Lab staff keep it as stock or replacement wire; it is listed with a capacity of 100 gm, and its size suits mechanically swaged fittings. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its physics lab equipment range for India and international markets.

Specifications

What Is Steel Wire Used For?

In physics practicals, steel wire of this kind is typically used as the test wire in Searle's method for Young's modulus, where known loads stretch it by fractions of a millimetre. Keeping stock wire on the shelf lets a lab replace a kinked or over-stretched wire between practical batches instead of reusing one that no longer gives reliable readings. It also serves for simple stretching and load demonstrations.

Handle the wire carefully: store it loosely coiled, avoid sharp bends, and cut lengths with a proper wire cutter so the ends seat cleanly in chucks or fittings. Before a practical, measure the diameter with a screw gauge at several points along the length and use the average, because small diameter errors have a large effect on the calculated modulus.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies this Steel Wire from Ambala, Haryana, India, alongside Searle's apparatus and the other physics items in its catalogue. The company sources the wire for laboratory use and can combine it with apparatus on one quotation, so a lab can reorder test wire and the equipment it is used with from a single supplier. Read about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.

• Searle's Apparatus — the Young's modulus apparatus that uses test wires
• Wall Mount For Searle Apparatus — for hanging the wire set-up from a wall
• Screw Gauge — for measuring the wire diameter accurately
• Wire Cutter — for cutting clean lengths from stock
• Meter Scale 100 cm — for measuring the original length of the wire

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Steel Wire made of?
The Steel Wire (code SCL250/024) is made of steel. Steel is stiff compared with metals such as brass, so in Young's modulus practicals it stretches only slightly under load, which makes careful micrometer readings important.

What does the 100 gm capacity of the Steel Wire refer to?
The Steel Wire is listed with a capacity of 100 gm. Please confirm with us what this figure means for your application, along with the diameter and length you need, before ordering through the contact page.

What fittings does the Steel Wire suit?
The Steel Wire is sized to suit mechanically swaged fittings, where a metal sleeve is pressed onto the wire end to form a secure termination. If you will clamp it in apparatus chucks instead, tell us your apparatus so we can check suitability.

Can the Steel Wire be used with Searle's Apparatus?
Steel wire is commonly used in Searle's Apparatus for Young's modulus. To be sure this Steel Wire suits the chucks and length of your apparatus, give us its code or details when you enquire, and we will confirm before quoting.

Who supplies the Steel Wire?
The Steel Wire is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, laboratory dealers and institutional buyers in India and international markets.

How should the Steel Wire be stored?
Store the Steel Wire loosely coiled in a dry place and avoid kinks or sharp bends, because a kinked wire straightens under load and gives false extension readings. Wipe it clean after use to limit surface rust.

What should a quotation request for the Steel Wire include?
A quotation request for the Steel Wire should give code SCL250/024, the quantity, the apparatus you will use it with and your delivery location, so we can confirm suitability and quote in one step.
