Metal Density Cubes
Product Code : LSK-PL-10327
Metal Density Cubes (SKU LSK-PL-10327) are a set of six equal-sized 20 mm cubes in brass, lead, copper, zinc, aluminium and iron. Because every cube has the same volume, differences in mass show differences in density directly, making the set a clear teaching aid for Class 9 density work, secondary physics and first-year college properties-of-matter practicals. Science Lab Supplies produces the set at its factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, supplying schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors without intermediaries.
Specifications
The set has six cubes, each with a 20 mm side, one in each of six metals. A 20 mm cube has a volume of 8 cm³, so a student who weighs a cube can calculate its density simply by dividing the mass in grams by 8.

Applications and Experiments for the Metal Density Cubes
The cubes are used to measure and compare density: students weigh each one, confirm its volume by measuring the sides, and calculate mass divided by volume. Holding two cubes of equal size but very different mass also gives an immediate, hands-on feel for what density means.
- Class 9 science: calculating density from measured mass and volume.
- Identifying an unknown metal by comparing its calculated density with table values.
- Practising vernier caliper and balance readings on regular solids.
- Discussing why some metals are chosen for weight and others for lightness.
The set includes a lead cube. Lead is toxic, so students should handle it under supervision and wash their hands after the practical.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises six 20 mm cubes: brass, lead, copper, zinc, aluminium and iron. A balance and a caliper for measuring the cubes are not part of the set; they can be added to your enquiry and will appear as separate lines on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover anything from a single set for a teacher demonstration to one set per bench, and each states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Balances and calipers from the same physics lab equipment in India range can be priced on that quotation as well.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. Enquiries are welcome through the contact page or the enquiry cart, while institutions buying by tender can refer to the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals are in the Metal Density Cubes set?
Six metals: brass, lead, copper, zinc, aluminium and iron, one 20 mm cube of each, so all six have the same volume.
How do students find the density of a cube?
Weigh the cube, work out its volume from the 20 mm side (8 cm³), and divide mass by volume to get density in g/cm³.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The company is the manufacturer. These cubes come from its own production unit in Saha, Ambala, India, and buyers deal with the factory directly for quotations.
Is the lead cube safe for students to handle?
Lead is toxic. Handle the lead cube under teacher supervision, avoid hand-to-mouth contact, and wash hands after the practical.
