Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 (Product Code: SLE/PHY/241) is a set of seven 20 mm metal cubes used to measure and compare the density of common metals in school and college physics laboratories. Students work with equal-sized cubes of brass, lead, steel, copper, aluminium, iron and tin, so any difference in mass comes straight from a difference in density. The set is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Because every cube in the set has the same nominal 20 mm side, each has roughly the same volume, about 8 cm³, so weighing them on a balance shows at once which metals are denser. Students calculate density as mass divided by volume, rank the seven metals and compare their answers with textbook values; lead and aluminium sit at opposite ends of the list, which makes the result easy to remember.
For a more careful practical, measure each side with a vernier caliper instead of relying on the nominal size, and cross-check the volume by displacement. The cubes also support lessons on identifying unknown materials, making them useful physics lab equipment for schools in India and abroad. Wash hands after handling the lead cube and store the set dry so the iron and steel cubes stay free of rust.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7. The set is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than bought in from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers receive it factory-direct. ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), and its production site at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala operates under Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414. For replacement cubes or repeat orders, ask the manufacturer directly; more about the company is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Which metals are in the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7?
The Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 contains one cube each of brass, lead, steel, copper, aluminium, iron and tin. Having seven metals of the same size lets students compare densities side by side and rank them from lightest to heaviest simply by weighing.
What size are the cubes in the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7?
Each cube in the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 measures 20 mm, giving a volume of about 8 cm³. Students should still measure the sides with a vernier caliper, because real dimensions can differ slightly from the nominal size and this affects the calculated density.
How do students find density with the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7?
With the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7, students weigh each cube on a balance, calculate its volume from the measured side length and divide mass by volume. Repeating this for all seven metals shows how strongly density varies between materials of identical size.
Who manufactures the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7?
The Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers receive the set factory-direct, and quotations come straight from the manufacturer.
How should the lead cube in the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 be handled?
The lead cube in the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 should be handled with normal lab hygiene: students wash their hands after the practical, keep the cube away from mouths and food, and return the whole set to dry storage when the lesson ends.
Can the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 be ordered in bulk?
Yes, the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 can be quoted in bulk for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. State the number of sets and your delivery location through the contact page and the manufacturer will reply with a quotation.
Quotations for the Metal Density Cubes, Set of 7 (SLE/PHY/241) come direct from the manufacturer. Tell us how many sets you need on the ScienceLab contact page, or add the product to the enquiry cart with the rest of your physics order.
