Metal Strip
Product Code : LSK-CL-10089
Metal Strip (SKU LSK-CL-10089) is a flat strip of metal offered in aluminium, copper, lead and zinc. Chemistry classes use the strips as electrodes to build simple cells and compare metals in electrochemistry, and physics or general science classes use them to compare how well different metals conduct heat. Schools, colleges, training institutes, contractors and distributors can obtain the strips from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.
Specifications
Each fact about the metal strip has its own row in the table. In short, the strip comes in four single metals, aluminium, copper, lead and zinc, so any two can be paired as electrodes in a simple cell or all four lined up side by side for a heat-conduction test. Strip length, width and thickness are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Metal Strip
The strips serve two families of practicals. Dipped into an electrolyte in pairs, they form simple cells whose voltage depends on how far apart the metals sit in the reactivity series. Heated at one end, they show that some metals carry heat along their length faster than others.
- Class 10 science (NCERT): comparing the reactivity of zinc, copper, aluminium and lead in salt solutions.
- Class 12 chemistry: building a Daniell-type cell from zinc and copper strips in Zinc Sulphate and Copper Sulphate Blue Crystal solutions, and reading its voltage on a Digital Voltmeter.
- Class 7–8 science: comparing heat conduction in different metals.
- B.Sc. electrochemistry: preparing electrodes for cell and electrolysis set-ups.
Lead is toxic: students should handle the lead strip with gloves or tongs and wash their hands after the practical.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Metal Strip is supplied as strips of the metal or metals you choose from aluminium, copper, lead and zinc. Name the metals and the number of strips of each in your enquiry, and the quotation will confirm the set. Electrolytes, beakers, leads and meters are not included and can be quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a handful of strips for one demonstration or a class set for every group; Science Lab Supplies replies with a quotation listing packing, delivery time and price for exactly that quantity. Salt bridges, cells and connectors can be added so the whole electrochemistry bench is priced together.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Malaysia. To have strips priced, write through the contact page or build a list in the enquiry cart; buyers working on laboratory equipment tenders in India will find the procedure on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals are available?
Aluminium, copper, lead and zinc. Specify one metal or a mix of all four on your enquiry, depending on whether you are setting up cells or comparing the metals side by side.
How is a simple cell made with these strips?
Two different metals, such as zinc and copper, are placed in an electrolyte and joined through a meter or bulb. The more reactive metal becomes the negative electrode and a small voltage is produced.
Who supplies the Metal Strip?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the strips from Ambala, India, and can price them on one quotation with cells, salt bridges and other chemistry lab equipment in India for schools, colleges and contractors.
Is the lead strip safe for students?
Lead is toxic if it is swallowed or its residue is carried on the hands. Use it under teacher supervision, avoid eating in the lab and wash hands after handling.
Related Electrochemistry and Heat-Conduction Apparatus
Once students have seen metal strips produce a voltage or conduct heat, the next practicals use ready-made cells, electrodes, a salt bridge and multi-metal conduction apparatus. These Chemistry Lab and Physics Lab items extend both topics and can be quoted alongside the strips.
- Cell Simple Copper With Zinc — jar fitted with zinc and copper plate electrodes for electrochemistry.
- Cell Daniel Copper With Zinc — copper vessel with a porous pot and zinc rod; theoretical voltage 1.1 V.
- Salt Bridge — 13 mm arm diameter, for measuring cell EMF under forward, zero and reverse current.
- Electrode Plate — 100 x 45 mm plate with socket terminal, in aluminium, carbon, copper, lead or zinc.
- Electrode Rod — 100 x 10 mm rod with terminal, in aluminium, carbon, copper, iron or zinc.
- Conductivity Ring — copper, brass, steel and aluminium strips on a ring, with a wax cup at the end of each strip.
- Conductometer, For Thermal Conductivity — five metal rods spaced radially on a brass hub, held over a flame by a wooden handle.
