Calorimeter Set, Copper (Product Code: SLE/PHY/30) is a lagged copper calorimeter with a built-in Constantan heating coil, used to determine the specific heat capacity of a liquid by the electrical method in physics laboratories. Its nickel-plated copper vessel sits inside an outer vessel, and a close-fitting ebonite lid carries a wire stirrer and 4 mm socket terminals. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, for heat practicals in India and abroad.

This set answers a standard practical question: how much energy does it take to warm a given mass of liquid by one degree? Students pour a weighed amount of liquid into the copper vessel, connect the coil terminals to a supply through an ammeter, place a voltmeter across them and pass a steady current while stirring. From the voltage, current, time and temperature rise, and allowing for the heat taken by the copper vessel, they calculate the liquid's specific heat capacity.
Keep the current near the recommended 0.5 A and never above 1 A, make sure the coil is covered by liquid before switching on, and stir with the wire stirrer throughout. Because the calorimeter is lagged inside its outer vessel, heat loss stays modest, and this calorimeter lab equipment in India suits specific-heat experiments at school and college level.
The Calorimeter Set, Copper is an original ScienceLab product: Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades under the ScienceLab name, manufactures it as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because there is no trader in between, questions about the coil, lid or terminals are answered by the manufacturer.
Schools, colleges, dealers and importers can place repeat orders with the same factory, and can ask us about replacement parts such as a lid or stirrer. Visit our company profile to learn more.
