Assorted Metal Cubes Set
Model Number: MTM-29
The Assorted Metal Cubes Set from Micro Technologies is designed for practical physics and material science experiments involving density, mass, volume and comparative material properties. The set comprises seven different metal cubes: brass, copper, aluminium, iron, lead, zinc and tin, and is available in 10 mm and 20 mm cube sizes.
Product Specification
The Assorted Metal Cubes Set from Micro Technologies is a laboratory specimen collection designed for experimental investigation of the physical properties of different metals. By providing cubes of different metallic materials in comparable geometrical forms, the set allows students to investigate relationships between mass, volume, density and material type.
The complete set consists of seven metal specimens, comprising brass, copper, aluminium, iron, lead, zinc and tin. Each material possesses different physical characteristics, making the collection useful for comparative laboratory experiments.
Because the specimens are supplied in a regular cube shape, their volume can be calculated conveniently from their measured dimensions. Students can measure the side length using suitable laboratory measuring instruments and determine the cube volume mathematically.
The mass of each specimen can then be measured using a suitable laboratory balance. Using the measured mass and calculated volume, the density of each metal can be experimentally determined.
This makes the set particularly useful for demonstrating the relationship:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
The inclusion of seven different metals allows students to compare how specimens of similar dimensions can have significantly different masses because of differences in material density.
For example, aluminium provides a useful comparison with denser metals such as lead, copper and brass. Such observations help demonstrate that objects of the same external size do not necessarily have the same mass.
The cubes can also support material identification exercises, where measured density values are compared with accepted reference values to determine or verify the type of metal.
The Assorted Metal Cubes Set is available in 10 mm and 20 mm sizes, enabling laboratories to select specimens according to their experimental requirements.
The regular geometry of the specimens makes them especially convenient for experiments where volume needs to be calculated from physical dimensions rather than determined exclusively by liquid displacement.
The cubes may also be used to compare calculated geometrical volume with volume determined using an appropriate displacement method, providing an additional practical investigation.
In material science demonstrations, the set provides physical samples of several commonly studied metals, allowing students to observe differences in appearance, mass and other basic physical characteristics.
The compact specimen format makes the complete collection convenient to handle, organize and store as part of a physics or material-properties laboratory.
For accurate quantitative experiments, the dimensions and mass of each individual specimen should be measured using appropriate calibrated laboratory instruments rather than relying only on nominal cube size.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Assorted Metal Cubes Set is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories and educational institutions conducting experiments involving density and physical properties of materials.

FAQs
What metals are included in the Assorted Metal Cubes Set?
The set comprises brass, copper, aluminium, iron, lead, zinc and tin, providing seven different metal specimens.
How many cubes are included in one set?
A complete set contains seven cubes, representing seven different metals.
What sizes are available?
The Assorted Metal Cubes Set is available in 10 mm and 20 mm cube sizes.
What are Assorted Metal Cubes used for?
They are primarily used for experiments involving density, mass, volume and comparative physical properties of metals.
Can these cubes be used to calculate density?
Yes. The mass of a cube can be measured with a balance and its volume determined from its dimensions. These values can then be used to calculate density.
Can the cubes demonstrate that equal-sized materials have different masses?
Yes. Since the specimens are made from different metals, their masses can differ even when their external dimensions are similar due to differences in material density.
Can the cubes be used for material identification?
Yes. Experimentally determined density values can be compared with reference values as part of suitable material identification exercises.
Can the volume be calculated from cube dimensions?
Yes. For a cube, volume can be calculated using side × side × side, based on accurately measured dimensions.
Can displacement methods also be used?
Where appropriate laboratory procedures and materials permit, volume measurements can also be compared using a suitable liquid displacement method.
Where is the Assorted Metal Cubes Set commonly used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories, schools, colleges, universities and scientific teaching facilities.
