Density Identification Set – 12 Specimens
Model Number: MTM-33
The Density Identification Set – 12 Specimens from Micro Technologies is designed for practical experiments involving density determination and identification of unknown materials. The set contains 12 cylindrical specimens of varying lengths and approximately ½-inch diameter, including aluminium, brass, copper, glass, hard rubber, Delrin, PVC, acrylic, Teflon, nylon, maple and pinewood. All specimens are supplied in a convenient wooden storage block.
Product Specification
The Density Identification Set – 12 Specimens from Micro Technologies is a comprehensive laboratory collection developed for practical investigations of density, mass, volume and material identification. The set allows students to determine the density of different solid specimens experimentally and use their results to distinguish between materials.
The complete collection consists of 12 different cylindrical specimens, providing examples from metals, polymers, glass, rubber and wood. This broad material selection makes the set useful for comparative studies beyond basic metal-only density experiments.
The included specimens are aluminium, brass, copper, glass, hard rubber, Delrin, PVC, acrylic, Teflon, nylon, maple and pinewood.
Each specimen is cylindrical in shape with an approximate diameter of ½ inch, while the specimens are supplied in varying lengths. This variation creates different masses and volumes for experimental measurement and comparison.
Students can determine the dimensions of each cylinder using suitable measuring equipment and calculate its volume mathematically. For a cylindrical specimen, volume can be calculated from its measured diameter and length.
After measuring the mass using a suitable laboratory balance, density can be determined using:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
The experimentally calculated density can then be compared with appropriate reference values to identify or verify the specimen material. This turns the set into a useful material identification exercise rather than only a basic density demonstration.
The three metallic specimens—aluminium, brass and copper—provide useful comparisons between common metals with significantly different densities.
The set also includes several non-metallic engineering materials, including Delrin, PVC, acrylic, Teflon and nylon, enabling comparative investigation of commonly studied polymers.
Glass and hard rubber further broaden the material range, while maple and pinewood introduce natural materials into the comparison.
The combination of materials helps demonstrate that density is an intrinsic material property and is not determined solely by the size or apparent volume of an object.
The varying specimen lengths can also help students understand that objects made from the same or different materials must be evaluated using both mass and volume, rather than mass alone, when comparing density.
For more advanced practical work, specimens may be presented as unknown samples. Students can measure their dimensions and masses, calculate density and then attempt to identify each material from reference density data.
The complete collection is supplied in a wooden storage block, helping keep all 12 specimens organized and readily accessible during laboratory sessions.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Density Identification Set is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories and educational institutions conducting quantitative experiments involving density and material properties.

FAQs
What is a Density Identification Set used for?
It is used for experimentally determining density and identifying different materials from their measured mass, dimensions and calculated density.
How many specimens are included?
The complete Density Identification Set contains 12 different specimens.
Which materials are included in the set?
The set includes aluminium, brass, copper, glass, hard rubber, Delrin, PVC, acrylic, Teflon, nylon, maple and pinewood.
What is the shape of the specimens?
The specimens are supplied in a cylindrical shape.
What is the diameter of the specimens?
Each specimen has an approximate diameter of ½ inch.
Are all specimens the same length?
No. The set contains cylindrical specimens of varying lengths.
How can the density of a specimen be determined?
Measure its mass and calculate its volume from its dimensions. Density is then determined using Density = Mass ÷ Volume.
Can the set be used for unknown material identification?
Yes. Students can calculate the density of an unidentified specimen and compare the result with suitable reference values to determine its likely material.
