Tuning Fork Set, Steel
Tuning Fork Set, Steel (Product Code: SLE/PHY/314) is a boxed set of eight steel tuning forks used as reference sound sources for sonometer, resonance and pitch experiments in physics laboratories. The plain-shank forks run from C 256 Hz to C 512 Hz in eight steps, and every fork carries its frequency marking. Suited to sonometer work in Indian school and college labs, it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Steel Tuning Fork Set Used For?
On a sonometer, students place a vibrating fork stem on the sounding board and move the bridge until a small paper rider on the wire jumps off, showing that the wire length is in resonance with the fork. Doing this for each of the eight forks gives a table of frequency against resonant length. The results show that frequency is inversely proportional to length, which is the first law of vibrating strings.
The forks also let a class compare pitch across a full octave and relate each note to a number. Keep the forks in their box between lessons, strike them only on a rubber pad, and avoid dropping them, because a bent prong can change the note a fork gives.
What to Specify When Ordering
- How many boxed steel sets you need.
- Whether you prefer steel (this set) or the aluminium set with the same frequencies.
- Any sonometers, rubber pads or resonance apparatus to include in the same quotation.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Tuning Fork Set, Steel. The set is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader, and it reaches schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets factory-direct. For replacement forks or repeat sets, ask the manufacturer directly. Read our company profile to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What notes and frequencies does the Tuning Fork Set, Steel include?
The Tuning Fork Set, Steel includes one fork each of C (256 Hz), D (288 Hz), E (320 Hz), F (341 Hz), G (384 Hz), A (426 Hz), B (480 Hz) and C (512 Hz), covering a full octave in eight steel forks.
Can the Tuning Fork Set, Steel be used with a sonometer?
Yes. The Tuning Fork Set, Steel is well suited to sonometer experiments, where each fork is used to find the resonant length of a wire. Using all eight frequencies lets students verify that frequency is inversely proportional to length.
How is the Tuning Fork Set, Steel packed?
The Tuning Fork Set, Steel comes as a boxed set of eight forks. Storing the forks in the box between lessons keeps the set together and protects the prongs from knocks that could alter their pitch.
Are the forks in the Tuning Fork Set, Steel marked?
Yes. Each fork in the Tuning Fork Set, Steel has its frequency marked on it and a plain shank for holding. Students can therefore read the value directly instead of relying on a separate list during the experiment.
Who manufactures the Tuning Fork Set, Steel?
The Tuning Fork Set, Steel is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Requests for extra forks or repeat sets go directly to the manufacturer.
What information does a quotation for the Tuning Fork Set, Steel need?
A quotation for the Tuning Fork Set, Steel needs the number of sets, any accessories such as sonometers or rubber pads, and the delivery location in India or abroad. Send these through our contact page.
