Product Specification
The Constant Volume Density Blocks Set from Micro Technologies is a practical physics and material science laboratory set developed to help students understand the relationship between mass, volume, density and material type.
The complete set consists of nine blocks, with each specimen having a nominal volume of approximately one cubic inch. Since the specimens have a constant volume but are manufactured from different materials, they provide a straightforward method for comparing material densities.
The set includes blocks made from maple, pine, three different types of plastic, aluminium, copper, steel and brass.
This selection provides specimens from three broad material groups—wood, plastics and metals—allowing students to compare the density characteristics of substantially different materials.
Because each specimen has approximately the same volume, differences in mass can be attributed primarily to differences in material density. A higher-density material will have a greater mass than a lower-density material of the same volume.
The relationship can be expressed as:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
When volume remains constant, comparing specimen masses provides a direct method for understanding relative density.
Students can weigh each block using a suitable laboratory balance and arrange the specimens from lowest to highest mass. The results can then be compared with their expected density order.
The maple and pine blocks provide natural wood specimens and allow students to observe that even materials within the same broad category can have different densities.
The inclusion of three different plastic specimens provides additional opportunities for comparing materials that may look relatively similar but possess different physical properties.
The metallic specimens—aluminium, copper, steel and brass—provide useful comparisons across common metals. Aluminium offers a relatively lightweight metallic specimen, while copper, steel and brass provide higher-density comparisons.
Students can also measure the dimensions of each block using suitable laboratory instruments to verify the nominal volume and investigate measurement tolerances.
This allows the set to support practical skills involving length measurement, volume calculation, mass measurement and density determination.
The constant-volume arrangement is particularly useful when used alongside an Equal Mass Density Cubes Set. The two experiments demonstrate complementary principles: constant-volume specimens differ in mass, while equal-mass specimens differ in volume.
The blocks can also support material-identification exercises in which students measure the mass of an unknown specimen and use its known volume to estimate density.
The compact block format makes the specimens easy to handle and convenient for laboratory storage. An instruction manual is included to support structured experimental use.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Constant Volume Density Blocks Set is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories and educational institutions conducting practical experiments on density and properties of matter.

FAQs
What is the Constant Volume Density Blocks Set used for?
The set is used to demonstrate the relationship between mass, volume and density by comparing different materials having approximately equal volumes.
How many blocks are included in the set?
The complete set contains nine material blocks.
What is the volume of each block?
Each specimen has a nominal volume of approximately one cubic inch.
Which materials are included?
The set includes maple, pine, three different plastics, aluminium, copper, steel and brass.
Are all the blocks the same mass?
No. The blocks have approximately the same volume, but their masses differ because each material has a different density.
Why do constant-volume blocks have different masses?
For equal volumes, a material with a higher density has a greater mass than a material with a lower density.
Can students calculate density using these blocks?
Yes. Students can measure the mass of each specimen and use its measured or verified volume to calculate density using Density = Mass ÷ Volume.
Can the dimensions of the blocks be measured?
Yes. Students can use a suitable ruler or Vernier Caliper to measure dimensions and verify the specimen volume during quantitative experiments.
Does the set include an instruction manual?
Yes. An instruction manual is included with the set.
Where can the Constant Volume Density Blocks Set be used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories, schools, colleges, universities and scientific teaching laboratories.
