Tuning Fork Set
Tuning Fork Set (Product Code: SCL-294/045) is a set of eight tuning forks of different frequencies used to produce steady reference tones for sound and resonance experiments in school and college physics labs. The forks span 256 Hz to 512 Hz, exactly one octave, and are made of chrome-plated steel with high tensile strength, which makes it a practical tuning fork set for India's school and college sonometer and resonance tube work. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is a Tuning Fork Set Used For?
A set of forks at different frequencies lets students repeat one experiment at several known frequencies and look for the pattern. On a sonometer, each fork is matched to a vibrating length of wire to show that frequency and resonating length are inversely related; in a resonance tube, forks of different frequencies give different resonance lengths from which the speed of sound in air is worked out. Because the set runs from 256 Hz to 512 Hz, the lowest and highest forks also demonstrate an octave, where one frequency is exactly double the other.
Strike each fork on a rubber pad, never on the bench or another hard object, since knocks can damage the plating and shift the frequency. Hold it by the stem, keep fingers off the prongs while it sounds, and press the stem firmly on the sonometer board when transferring vibrations. Return each fork to the pouch after the practical so the set stays complete.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of Tuning Fork Sets, typically one per practical station
- Whether particular individual frequencies are required by your practical scheme (ask us for the eight values in the set)
- Whether a rubber pad for striking the forks should be quoted with each set
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited sells under the ScienceLab name and is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Tuning Fork Set, which it makes at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and colleges that lose or damage a single fork can ask the manufacturer directly about a replacement; ask us about availability. Dealers and importers are quoted factory-direct on the same terms as institutions. Visit the ScienceLab profile page for company information.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many forks are in the Tuning Fork Set?
The Tuning Fork Set (code SCL-294/045) contains eight tuning forks, each of a different frequency, covering 256 Hz to 512 Hz. That gives students several known frequencies for repeat readings in one practical session.
Which frequencies does the Tuning Fork Set include?
The Tuning Fork Set runs from 256 Hz at the lowest to 512 Hz at the highest, with eight forks in total. For the exact frequency marked on each of the eight forks, please ask us through the contact page.
What are the Tuning Fork Set forks made of?
The forks in the Tuning Fork Set are made of chrome-plated steel with high tensile strength. The plating helps protect the steel surface, and careful striking on a rubber pad keeps each fork sounding at its marked frequency.
How should forks from the Tuning Fork Set be struck?
Strike forks from the Tuning Fork Set gently on a rubber pad, holding them by the stem. Never strike them on a bench, metal or glass, because hard knocks can damage the prongs and alter the frequency.
Does the Tuning Fork Set come with storage?
Yes, the Tuning Fork Set is listed with a pouch for keeping the eight forks together. Storing each fork back in the pouch after use protects the plating and makes it easy to check the set is complete.
Who manufactures the Tuning Fork Set?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Tuning Fork Set as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct to institutions and dealers in India and international markets.
