Metal Discs – Set of 8
Metal Discs – Set of 8 (Product Code: SLE/PHY/242) is a set of eight 25 mm metal discs used to identify and compare the properties of everyday metals and alloys in school science and physics laboratories. Each disc is stamped with the name of its metal, which makes this educational lab equipment easy to use without a separate answer key. The set is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Are Metal Discs Used For?
Laying the eight discs side by side lets students compare colour, lustre and weight in the hand, and separate pure metals such as copper, nickel, zinc and aluminium from alloys such as brass, bronze and the two steels. A magnet quickly divides the discs into those that are attracted and those that are not, which opens a discussion of why mild steel and stainless steel can behave differently although both are iron-based.
As junior science lab equipment, the set also works as a labelled reference: students compare an unknown metal piece with the stamped discs before confirming their guess with other tests. Teachers can press a pair of dissimilar discs, such as copper and zinc, against paper soaked in electrolyte to show that two different metals produce a small voltage. Keep the discs clean and dry, and avoid scratching the stamped faces so the names stay legible.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of sets required for your class or number of student groups.
- Whether magnets should be quoted with the discs for magnetic sorting activities.
- Whether you also want the twelve-strip Metal Testing Strips set for extended magnetism work.
OEM Manufacturer
The Metal Discs – Set of 8 is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, acting as OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Sets are produced at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and go factory-direct to schools, colleges, laboratory dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals are included in the Metal Discs – Set of 8?
The Metal Discs – Set of 8 includes brass, copper, bronze, nickel, mild steel, stainless steel, zinc and aluminium. This mix of pure metals and common alloys gives students a realistic range of colours, weights and magnetic behaviour to compare in a single lesson.
How are the discs in the Metal Discs – Set of 8 identified?
Every disc in the Metal Discs – Set of 8 is stamped with the name of its metal, so students and teachers can identify each sample directly. The stamped label also lets the set act as a reference when students examine unknown metal pieces.
What size are the Metal Discs – Set of 8?
Each disc in the Metal Discs – Set of 8 is 25 mm in diameter. The uniform diameter makes the discs easy to compare by eye and by feel, and the size suits handling at a bench or passing around a classroom.
Who manufactures the Metal Discs – Set of 8?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) manufactures the Metal Discs – Set of 8 as an OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers buy directly from the manufacturer, which also handles repeat orders.
Can the Metal Discs – Set of 8 be used for magnetism experiments?
Yes. With a magnet, the Metal Discs – Set of 8 can be sorted into discs that are attracted and discs that are not, showing students that magnetic behaviour depends on the metal or alloy rather than on appearance alone.
What details should a quotation request for the Metal Discs – Set of 8 include?
A quotation request for the Metal Discs – Set of 8 should give the number of sets, any related items such as magnets or metal testing strips, and your delivery location, so the manufacturer can price the complete order in one reply.
