Thermal Conductivity Bars Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Thermal Conductivity Bars (Product Code: SLE/H/07) test the conductivity of four metals at once: steel, brass, aluminium and copper strips are connected to a strip thermometer and mounted side by side on a plastic base. Dip the ends into a warm water bath and the strip thermometer shows which metal carries heat along its length fastest. Science teachers use it to make conduction visible to a whole class, and it forms part of the school physics lab equipment in India made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Prepare a shallow bath of warm water, hold the unit by its plastic base and dip the ends of all four strips in together so each metal starts under identical conditions. Watch the strip thermometer: the reading advances along the copper strip first, followed by aluminium, then brass, with steel lagging well behind. Because all four are tested at once, there is no need to repeat runs and compare them from memory, and the result is obvious even from the back of the room.

Follow-up questions work well here: why are cooking pans often made with copper or aluminium bases, why do steel spoon handles stay cooler, and how does conductivity relate to the metals’ structure? Let the bars return to room temperature before a second run, dry them after use and keep the strip thermometer away from direct flames or very hot surfaces. The unit makes a compact, hands-on addition to any school physics lab equipment set for heat.

• Glass Beaker — a simple container for the warm water bath.
• Water Bath — holds the bath at a steady temperature for repeat runs.
• Heat Conducto meter — a paraffin-based comparison across five metals.
• Heat Transfer Kit — measures heat flow through a bar between two containers.

More conduction and convection apparatus is in the Heat category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which metals are compared?
Steel, brass, aluminium and copper, all tested at the same time.

How big are the strips and base?
Each metal strip is 5-1/4" long, 3/8" wide and 3/8" deep, on a 7" long plastic base.

Do I need a separate thermometer?
No, the strips are connected to a strip thermometer that shows the heat moving along each metal. You only need a warm water bath.

How hot should the water be?
Warm water is enough to show the effect. Avoid boiling water or flames near the plastic base; the included instructions describe the method.

Is it suitable for students to use themselves?
Yes, with supervision around the water bath. It is small enough for group practical work as well as teacher demonstrations.

Can you quote for several units across schools?
Yes. Send the quantity of SLE/H/07, school names and delivery addresses through our contact page, for India or international delivery.
