Product Code : SCL-AM-12105
SWG Steel Wire (100gm) (SKU SCL-AM-12105) is a 100 g supply of steel wire, designated by Standard Wire Gauge, for physics experiments that call for a steel specimen. It is used for elasticity and extension studies, comparisons of material behaviour, sonometer work and as replacement wire for compatible apparatus in school, college and university labs. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors as a stock consumable for physics benches.
Specifications
The defined details of this steel wire are listed in the table below. In brief, it is steel in wire form, identified by Standard Wire Gauge and supplied as 100 g; the gauge number, and therefore the diameter and length, for the wire you order is confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the SWG Steel Wire
Steel wire is the usual specimen for elasticity and stress-strain practicals, and it is also stretched on sonometers for vibrating-string work. Keeping a 100 g stock lets a lab cut fresh lengths whenever a test wire is stretched, kinked or broken, which is practical physics lab equipment in India.
- Class 11 practical: extension of a steel wire under load and Young’s modulus, loading in steps with the Laboratory Slotted Masses, 2.5 kg.
- B.Sc. and engineering: comparing the elastic behaviour of steel with brass or copper wire after measuring the actual diameter, for example with an Electronic Digital Vernier Caliper.
- Class 11 sonometer: laws of vibrating strings, with the wire plucked or bowed.
- Replacement wire for compatible elasticity and rigidity apparatus.
Cut steel wire has sharp ends. Wear eye protection such as Safety Goggles, Polycarbonate, 12 pcs when cutting or tensioning, and keep hands away from loaded wire.
Standard Scope of Supply
The supply consists of 100 g of SWG steel wire. Clamps, loads, measuring instruments, cutters and other accessories are not included; they, and any other apparatus needed for the experiment, can be listed as separate lines on the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can request a single 100 g quantity as replacement stock or larger amounts for a busy elasticity lab. Each quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for what you order, and it can also confirm the gauge number that matches your apparatus.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Start an enquiry from the contact page or the enquiry cart; the lab tender page is there for bids.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much steel wire is supplied?
The supplied quantity is 100 g of SWG steel wire. Larger quantities can be quoted as multiples of 100 g for laboratories that replace test wires often.
Which SWG number is the wire?
Tell us the gauge your apparatus or experiment needs through the contact page, and the quotation will confirm the SWG number, and so the diameter, of the steel wire supplied.
Will it work with an electromagnetic sonometer driver?
An electromagnetic driver needs a ferromagnetic wire. Plain carbon steel wire is ferromagnetic, but some steels, such as many stainless grades, are not, so mention the driver when you enquire and the quotation will confirm the grade of wire supplied.
Who supplies the SWG Steel Wire (100gm)?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this wire from Ambala, India. It can be ordered by itself as a consumable or together with elasticity apparatus, sonometers and other physics equipment on one quotation.
