Metal Cylinders
Product Code : LSK-PL-10313
Metal Cylinders (SKU LSK-PL-10313) are a set of six precision cylinders in brass, lead, copper, iron, aluminium and zinc, supplied in a wooden block, for density experiments. With the set, students can measure each cylinder, weigh it and compare the densities of common metals. It suits Class 9–11 physics and introductory college practicals. Science Lab Supplies turns out the set at its Saha, Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India) as the manufacturer and quotes schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors without agents.
Specifications
Each detail of the six-metal density set has its own line in the table. In short, the set holds one precision cylinder in each of brass, lead, copper, iron, aluminium and zinc, made for density work and kept together in a wooden block so each metal is easy to find, check and return.

Applications and Experiments for the Metal Cylinders
The cylinders are used to find density as mass divided by volume. Students can take the volume from diameter and length readings or by water displacement, weigh each cylinder on a balance such as the 0.01 g Digital Balance, and compare the six results to see how density varies between metals.
- NCERT Class 9 science: density and relative density.
- Class 11 physics practicals: measuring cylinder dimensions with a vernier caliper.
- Archimedes' principle: comparing loss of weight in water for different metals, a topic also covered by the Archimedes' Principal Demonstration Set.
One cylinder is lead: ask students to wash their hands after handling the set.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set consists of six metal cylinders, one each of brass, lead, copper, iron, aluminium and zinc, held in a wooden block. The experiment also calls for a balance, a vernier caliper and a measuring cylinder, and these can be quoted together with the set.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover anything from a single set for demonstration to one set per student group. Each quotation states packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you specify, and density cubes or calipers from the same range can sit on it too.
As a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. To price a density bench, write in on the contact page or gather the cylinders and measuring tools in the enquiry cart; bids follow the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals are in the set?
Six: brass, lead, copper, iron, aluminium and zinc, one cylinder of each. This mix gives students a wide spread of densities to compare in a single practical.
How is the set stored?
The cylinders are supplied in a wooden block, which keeps all six together between lessons and makes it easy to check that the set is complete before it goes back into the store.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Density cylinder sets like this one are manufactured by Science Lab Supplies at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India; the price, packing and dispatch for your order are all arranged there.
Is the lead cylinder safe for students?
Lead is toxic, so the set should be used under teacher supervision, the cylinders should not be put in the mouth, and students should wash their hands after the practical.
