Calorimetry
Product Code : SCL-PL-11817
Calorimetry (SKU SCL-PL-11817) is a set for finding the specific heat capacity of a liquid by the electrical method: a heater warms the liquid while digital meters and a stopwatch record the energy supplied. It serves Class 11 physics, B.Sc. heat practicals and polytechnic labs. The set is manufactured at the Science Lab Supplies factory, Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sold direct to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The calorimeter is made of copper, aluminium, brass or iron with a nickel coating on the inside, sized 54 x 34 mm with external dimensions of 70 x 45 mm. Meters, a power supply, a rheostat, a heater, a stopwatch and two thermometers complete the circuit.

Applications and Experiments for the Calorimetry Set
The set is used to measure the specific heat capacity of a liquid by supplying a known amount of electrical energy and recording the temperature rise. It fits NCERT Class 11 calorimetry, B.Sc. heat practicals and diploma physics labs as part of their heat and thermodynamics lab equipment.
- Class 11 physics: specific heat capacity of water or another liquid by the electrical method.
- B.Sc. heat practicals: electrical energy from voltage, current and time, compared with heat gained.
- Comparing mercury and digital thermometer readings during a heating run.
Standard Scope of Supply
One set comprises the nickel-lined calorimeter, electric heater, mercury and digital thermometers, digital voltmeter and ammeter, 1.5–12 V power supply, 10 Ω rheostat, digital stopwatch, eight pairs of 50 cm connecting leads (four red, four black) and the calorimeter demonstration table. The liquid under test is provided by the laboratory.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover a single demonstration set or one set per practical bench, and it shows the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Extra calorimeters or immersion heaters for more benches can be listed on the same quotation.
As a registered exporter holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Calorimetry set contain mercury?
Yes. One thermometer is a mercury thermometer reading −10 to 110 °C. Use it under teacher supervision and follow your institution's mercury spill procedure if it breaks.
What can students measure with this set?
Students heat a liquid in the calorimeter, read voltage, current and time on the digital meters and stopwatch, and use the temperature rise to calculate the liquid's specific heat capacity.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer: Science Lab Supplies makes and packs this set at its factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and every quotation is issued by the factory itself, not by an agent.
Which calorimeter material will I receive?
The calorimeter is offered in copper, aluminium, brass or iron, each nickel-coated inside. State the material you need and it will be confirmed on the quotation.
