Conductometer, For Thermal Conductivity
Product Code : LSK-PL-10360
Conductometer, For Thermal Conductivity (SKU LSK-PL-10360) is a demonstration apparatus that compares how well brass, copper, aluminium, iron and stainless steel conduct heat. Five metal rods radiate from a brass hub, and wax in a cavity at the end of each rod melts at a different time when the hub is heated. Science Lab Supplies manufactures it at its unit in Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors with no agent in between.
Specifications
Rods of five metals are spaced equally around a brass hub, which is held over a flame by a wooden handle. Each rod has a cavity at its outer end for paraffin wax, so the order in which the wax melts ranks the metals by thermal conductivity.

Applications and Experiments for the Conductometer
Because all five rods are heated from the same hub, the only variable is the metal, so the melting order gives a fair visual ranking of conductivity. The demonstration fits the heat chapter of Class 7 science and the conduction topic in NCERT Class 11 physics.
- Class 7 science (CBSE/NCERT): showing that heat travels through solids by conduction and that some metals conduct faster.
- Class 11 physics: introducing thermal conductivity as a property of the material.
- Fair-test practice: identifying the controlled variables before predicting the melting order.
The method uses an open flame, hot metal and molten wax, so hold the apparatus only by its wooden handle.
Standard Scope of Supply
The conductometer is supplied as a single assembly as described above: five metal rods mounted on the brass hub with the wooden handle. Paraffin wax and a burner are not listed as part of the apparatus; any optional items are shown on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations are available for one conductometer or a class quantity, and each lists the packing, delivery time and price for that number. Other heat apparatus can be priced on the same document.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals does the conductometer compare?
Brass, copper, aluminium, iron and stainless steel, one rod of each, all fixed to the same brass hub so they receive heat from a common source.
How is the demonstration carried out?
Place paraffin wax in the cavity at the end of each rod, hold the brass hub over a flame by the wooden handle, and note the order in which the wax melts.
Is it safe for a school class?
It involves a flame, hot rods and molten wax, so it should be run by the teacher or under close supervision, with students kept clear of the heated hub.
Is Science Lab Supplies the maker of this apparatus?
Yes. The conductometer is manufactured in the company's Saha, Ambala, India factory, so you are buying from the producer, not a trader, and the factory prepares your quotation.
