Density Samples Set – 48 Cylindrical Specimens
Model Number: MTM-37
The Density Samples Set – 48 Cylindrical Specimens from Micro Technologies is designed for comparative experiments involving density, mass, volume, material properties and specimen dimensions. The complete set contains 48 half-inch diameter cylinders, comprising 12 specimens each of aluminium, brass, PVC and polypropylene. Specimens of each material are provided in varying lengths and organized in wooden storage bases.
Product Specification
The Density Samples Set – 48 Cylindrical Specimens from Micro Technologies is a comprehensive laboratory collection developed for practical investigations of density, mass, volume and dimensional relationships across different materials.
The complete collection contains 48 cylindrical specimens, providing a substantially larger experimental set than basic density cube or individual specimen collections.
Four different materials are represented: aluminium, brass, PVC and polypropylene. Each material is supplied as a separate group of 12 specimens, giving a total of 48 density samples.
All specimens have an approximate diameter of ½ inch, while the cylinders within each material group are supplied in varying lengths.
The varying lengths provide different specimen volumes while maintaining the same material composition within each group. This enables students to investigate how mass changes with volume for a material of constant density.
Students can measure the length and diameter of individual specimens using suitable laboratory measuring instruments. The volume of each cylindrical specimen can then be calculated mathematically.
The mass of each specimen can be measured using a suitable laboratory balance. Density can subsequently be determined using:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
Because multiple specimens of the same material but different lengths are provided, students can investigate the relationship between mass and volume in greater detail.
For specimens made from the same homogeneous material, increasing volume should correspond to an increase in mass while the calculated density remains approximately constant within experimental uncertainty.
This makes the set particularly useful for demonstrating that density is a characteristic material property and does not simply increase because a specimen is larger.
The collection also enables comparisons between different material types. Aluminium and brass provide metallic samples, while PVC and polypropylene provide polymer specimens.
Students can compare specimens with similar dimensions and observe differences in mass caused by their different material densities.
The multiple specimens can also support graphical laboratory activities. Students may plot mass against volume for a selected material and examine the relationship between these quantities.
The set is suitable for measurement exercises involving diameter, length, volume and mass, helping students develop practical skills with laboratory balances and dimensional measuring instruments.
With 12 samples of each material, the collection can also support group laboratory activities where multiple students or workstations require specimens simultaneously.
Each material group is organized in a wooden storage base, helping maintain the specimens in an orderly arrangement when they are not being used.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Density Samples Set is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories and educational institutions conducting detailed experiments on density and properties of materials.

FAQs
How many specimens are included in the Density Samples Set?
The complete collection contains 48 cylindrical specimens.
Which materials are included?
The set includes specimens made from aluminium, brass, PVC and polypropylene.
How many specimens of each material are supplied?
Each material is represented by 12 cylindrical specimens, providing a total of 48 samples.
What is the diameter of the specimens?
The cylinders have an approximate diameter of ½ inch.
Are all specimens the same length?
No. Each material group contains specimens of varying lengths, allowing different volumes and masses to be investigated.
Why are multiple lengths of the same material provided?
Multiple lengths allow students to investigate how mass changes with volume while material density remains approximately constant.
Can students calculate the density of each sample?
Yes. Students can measure mass and volume and calculate density using Density = Mass ÷ Volume.
Can the set be used for mass-versus-volume graphs?
Yes. Multiple specimens of the same material make the set particularly useful for plotting mass against volume and studying the resulting relationship.
Are both metals and polymers included?
Yes. Aluminium and brass represent metals, while PVC and polypropylene represent polymers.
How are the specimens stored?
The specimen groups are supplied in wooden storage bases for convenient organization and laboratory storage.
