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 the block at its Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area works in Saha, Ambala, India, and sells it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each block is a metal cylinder adjusted to a mass of 1 kg within ±2%. A large central hole of 12.5 mm diameter takes a special immersion heater, and a smaller 7.5 mm hole holds a thermometer or temperature sensor, so energy input and temperature rise can be measured in the same block.

Applications and Experiments for the Calorimeter Heating Block
Students heat the block electrically, record the energy supplied and the temperature rise, and calculate 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.
- 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.
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. The immersion heater, thermometer or sensor, power supply and energy meter are separate items and can be listed 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.
Being a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana. Send the item list through the contact page or collect it in the enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers tender-based purchases.
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.
Is the immersion heater included?
The block is supplied on its own. A heater sized for the 12.5 mm hole, such as the Immersion Heater listed below, can be added to your quotation.
Do you make the blocks or source them?
Science Lab Supplies manufactures them itself at its factory in Saha, Ambala, India. It is not a trader, so price and delivery are quoted by the factory directly.
