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. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the set in its own works at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and quotes it straight to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The calorimetry set is broken down part by part in the table below. In short, a nickel-lined calorimeter of 54 x 34 mm (70 x 45 mm outside) is warmed by a 6–50 W electric heater fed from a 1.5–12 V supply, while digital meters, a rheostat, a stopwatch and two thermometers record each run.

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; a separate Digital Multimeter can cross-check the readings.
- Comparing mercury and digital thermometer readings during a heating run.
- Younger classes can start with thermometer reading on the KITI for Heat and Thermometers before moving to calorimetry.
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. Extra calorimeters can be added to the quotation.
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. Ask for a price through the contact page, place the set in the enquiry cart alongside other heat items, or read the lab tender page if your order runs through a tender.
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?
With this set, students can heat a liquid in the calorimeter, read voltage, current and time on the digital meters and stopwatch, and use the temperature rise to work out the liquid's specific heat capacity.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The calorimetry set is built and packed in Saha, Ambala, India, at the Science Lab Supplies factory, and each quotation is prepared there directly rather than passed through an agent or trading house.
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.
