Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium
Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium (Product Code: SLE/PHY/313) is a boxed set of eight aluminium tuning forks used as known-frequency sound sources for resonance and sonometer experiments in school and college physics labs. The forks cover one octave, from C at 256 Hz to C at 512 Hz, and each has a plain shank with its frequency in hertz marked on it. This tuning fork set for school physics in India is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Aluminium Tuning Fork Set Used For?
The classic use is the resonance tube experiment for the speed of sound. Strike a fork on a rubber pad, hold it over the open end of an air column and adjust the water level until the sound swells to its loudest. Repeating this with all eight forks gives a set of resonant lengths that students can plot against the reciprocal of frequency to find the speed of sound.
The set also makes the physics of music concrete. The two C forks, at 256 Hz and 512 Hz, show that an octave is a doubling of frequency, while the forks in between step through a musical scale. Always strike the forks on a rubber pad rather than the bench, hold them by the plain shank, and return them to the box so the marked frequencies stay easy to read.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of boxed sets, for example one per practical bench.
- Aluminium (this set) or the steel set, which has the same eight frequencies.
- Whether rubber pads, a resonance tube or a sonometer should be quoted with the forks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which frequencies are in the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium?
The Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium contains one fork each of C 256 Hz, D 288 Hz, E 320 Hz, F 341 Hz, G 384 Hz, A 426 Hz, B 480 Hz and C 512 Hz. Together they span one octave.
Is the frequency marked on each fork in the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium?
Yes. Every fork in the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium has its frequency in hertz marked on it, so students can identify each fork quickly and record the correct value in resonance or sonometer experiments.
What is the difference between the aluminium and steel tuning fork sets?
The Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium and the Tuning Fork Set, Steel contain the same eight frequencies from 256 Hz to 512 Hz; the difference is the fork material. Tell us which material your syllabus or lab prefers when requesting a quotation.
How should the forks in the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium be struck?
Strike the forks of the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium on a rubber pad and hold them by the plain shank. Striking them on a bench or metal surface can damage the prongs and may affect the sound they produce.
Who manufactures the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium?
The Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium?
A calibration certificate is not listed for the Tuning Fork Set, Aluminium. If your institution needs frequency test documentation, please discuss it with us through the contact page before ordering so we can explain what is available.
