Product Code : SCL-AM-12102
Copper Calorimeter Apparatus 3x2 (SKU SCL-AM-12102) is a thin copper cup, 3 in high and 2 in across (75 x 50 mm), held inside a larger outer vessel with a lidded air gap, for measuring specific heat capacity and latent heat by the method of mixtures. It serves secondary school and undergraduate heat practicals. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the calorimeter at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplies it straight from the factory to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
All technical details of the calorimeter appear in the table below. In brief, a 75 x 50 mm high-purity sheet-copper cup sits on low-conductivity spacers inside a 100 x 75 mm outer jacket, separated by a still air gap, closed by a removable lid with ports and stirred with a copper wire loop.

Applications and Experiments for the Copper Calorimeter
The calorimeter holds a known mass of water while a hot solid or ice is added, and the temperature change is used to calculate heat gained and lost. Copper reaches equilibrium quickly and absorbs little heat itself, which makes it standard heat and thermodynamics lab equipment for schools and colleges.
- CBSE Class 11 practical: specific heat capacity of a solid by the method of mixtures, using samples such as the Metal Cylinder set.
- Class 11: specific heat capacity of a liquid, and latent heat of fusion of ice, with temperatures read on a Thermometer (with no Mercury).
- Introductory chemistry: heat changes of mild exothermic reactions and neutralisation in dilute solution.
- B.Sc. heat practicals: allowing for the water equivalent of the calorimeter and stirrer.
Weigh the dry cup and stirrer first, for example on a Physical Balance Brass & Wood 250 gm. Use tongs when moving hot samples, and avoid strong acids, which pit copper.
Standard Scope of Supply
The apparatus is supplied with the 75 x 50 mm copper inner cup, the 100 x 75 mm outer insulating jacket, the low-conductivity lid with thermometer and stirrer ports, a copper wire loop stirrer and an assembly manual. A thermometer is not included and can be quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need one calorimeter or a set for every heat-practical group, Science Lab Supplies quotes the packing, delivery time and price for that number. Thermometers, heating blocks or a water bath can be priced on the same quotation to complete the bench.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and is therefore able to ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Use the contact page or the enquiry cart to ask for a quote, and visit the lab tender page for tender supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 3x2 mean on this calorimeter?
It describes the inner copper cup: about 3 inches high and 2 inches in diameter, or 75 x 50 mm. The outer vessel measures 4 x 3 inches, or 100 x 75 mm.
Why is the inner cup made of copper?
Copper has high thermal conductivity and a low specific heat capacity, so the cup quickly reaches the temperature of its contents while taking up very little of the heat being measured.
How does the apparatus reduce heat loss?
The copper cup sits inside an outer jacket on low-conductivity spacers, and the still air gap between them, together with the lid, cuts conduction and convection to the room.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures this calorimeter. It is fabricated at the company’s own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and the quotation you receive is issued by the manufacturer itself.
