Metal Cylinder
Product Code : LSK-POM-11187
Metal Cylinder (SKU LSK-POM-11187) is a set of six solid cylinders, one each of aluminium, brass, zinc, copper, iron and lead, with carefully turned ends and smooth surfaces. Students use them to measure density and specific gravity and as samples in thermal and electrical experiments in middle school, Class 11 physics and college labs. Science Lab Supplies machines the set at its factory on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and offers it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Metal Cylinder Set
The cylinder set lets students compare six metals directly: measuring each one's mass and volume gives its density, and the same pieces serve as samples for heat-capacity and conduction work. It is a useful item of school physics lab equipment in India from Class 6 science to B.Sc. practicals.
- Class 6 to 9 science: density from mass and measured dimensions, using an Electronic Digital Vernier Caliper and a Physical Balance Brass & Wood 250 gm.
- Class 11 physics: specific heat capacity of a metal by the method of mixtures in a Copper Calorimeter Apparatus 3x2.
- Specific gravity by weighing each cylinder in air and in water.
- Comparing how quickly different metals warm or conduct heat.
One cylinder is lead: handle it with care, keep it away from the mouth and wash hands after use.
Standard Scope of Supply
One set contains six solid cylinders, one each of aluminium, brass, zinc, copper, iron and lead, with turned ends and smooth surfaces. Custom sizes and non-metal versions such as wood or plastic can be quoted on request, and balances, calipers or calorimeters are separate items.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a quotation for a single six-metal set, several sets for group work, or a custom size or material. Science Lab Supplies confirms packing, delivery time and price on each quotation for that quantity, and calorimeters or balances can be priced on the same document.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Share any custom size through the contact page, add standard sets to the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page for tender supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals are in the set?
The set has one solid cylinder each of aluminium, brass, zinc, copper, iron and lead, six pieces in all, so students can compare a wide spread of densities and thermal behaviour.
Can other sizes or materials be made?
Yes. Custom sizes can be made, and so can cylinders in other materials, including non-metals such as wood and plastic. Describe what you need and it will be quoted separately.
How are the cylinders finished?
The ends are carefully turned and the surfaces are smooth, which helps students measure length and diameter consistently when they calculate volume and density for each metal.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The cylinders are manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at its factory in Saha, Ambala, India, which is also how custom sizes and materials can be offered straight from the source.
