Calorimeter Heating Block
Product Code : LSK-PL-10359
Calorimeter Heating Block (SKU LSK-PL-10359) is a cylindrical metal block of 1 kg, drilled with one hole for an immersion heater and another for a thermometer or temperature sensor, used to find the specific heat capacity of metals by experiment. It is heat and thermodynamics lab equipment for senior secondary and college physics. Science Lab Supplies manufactures and drills each block at its Saha, Ambala factory (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area), the manufacturing unit that quotes schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Mass, tolerance and hole sizes of the 1 kg heating block appear one per row below. In short, each block is a metal cylinder adjusted to 1 kg within ±2%, with a large central 12.5 mm hole for a special immersion heater and a smaller 7.5 mm hole for a thermometer or temperature sensor.

Applications and Experiments for the Calorimeter Heating Block
The block can be heated electrically while the energy supplied and the temperature rise are recorded, giving specific heat capacity from c = E / (m ΔT). With the mass fixed at 1 kg the arithmetic stays simple, which suits the thermal-properties chapter of NCERT Class 11 physics and B.Sc. heat practicals.
- Class 11 physics (CBSE/NCERT): measuring the specific heat capacity of a solid by the electrical method, with the heater run from a bench supply such as the AC/DC Laboratory Power Supply.
- B.Sc. heat practical: plotting temperature against time and allowing for heat loss to the surroundings.
- Comparing different metals by repeating the experiment with blocks of each material, after checking each mass on a 3 kg Digital Balance.
The block becomes hot during the experiment; let it cool before handling and keep the heater supply switched off when inserting or removing it.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Calorimeter Heating Block is supplied as a single drilled 1 kg metal block as described above. An immersion heater, thermometer or sensor, power supply and energy meter for the full experiment can be listed as separate lines on the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
We can quote a single block or a quantity for every practical group, with packing, delivery time and price stated for that order size. Please say which metals you need, and add heaters or joulemeters to the same enquiry so the bench is priced together.
Being a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Name the metals and block count on the contact page or list them in the enquiry cart; government and institutional tenders are dealt with through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are the two holes in the block?
The central heater hole is 12.5 mm in diameter and the thermometer or sensor hole is 7.5 mm, so the heater and temperature probe sit in the same block during a run.
How accurate is the 1 kg mass?
Each cylindrical block is adjusted to 1 kg within ±2%, so students can use 1 kg in the calculation or weigh the block for a more exact figure.
Which immersion heater fits the block?
The central hole takes a special immersion heater of 12.5 mm diameter. The Immersion Heater listed below, 12.5 x 100 mm and suitable for calorimeter blocks, can be priced on the same quotation.
Do you make the blocks or source them?
The blocks are a Science Lab Supplies product, adjusted to 1 kg and drilled in its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, so price and delivery come straight from the maker rather than a trader.
