Specific Gravity Metal Specimen Set
Model Number: MTM-36
The Specific Gravity Metal Specimen Set from Micro Technologies is designed for practical laboratory experiments involving specific gravity, density, mass, volume and comparative properties of metals. The set contains four cylindrical specimens made from copper, brass, steel and aluminium, each measuring approximately 13 mm in diameter and 50 mm in length.
Product Specification
The Specific Gravity Metal Specimen Set from Micro Technologies is a laboratory specimen collection developed for practical investigations of the specific gravity and density of common metallic materials. It provides four different metal samples with comparable dimensions, allowing students to observe and calculate differences in their physical properties.
The complete set consists of four cylindrical specimens, manufactured from copper, brass, steel and aluminium. These metals have distinctly different densities, making them suitable for comparative experimental studies.
Each specimen has an approximate diameter of 13 mm and length of 50 mm, providing a consistent cylindrical form for measurement and calculation.
Because the specimens have comparable external dimensions, students can readily observe that similar-sized pieces of different metals can have different masses. This provides a clear demonstration of how material composition influences density.
The specimens can be weighed individually using a suitable laboratory balance. Their dimensions can also be measured using a Vernier Caliper or other appropriate measuring instrument.
The volume of each cylindrical specimen can then be calculated from its measured diameter and length. Using mass and volume measurements, students can determine the density of each metal.
The set is particularly suitable for studying specific gravity, which compares the density of a material with the density of a reference substance, commonly water for solids and liquids.
By comparing experimentally obtained values with suitable reference data, students can identify differences among copper, brass, steel and aluminium and reinforce their understanding of material properties.
The aluminium specimen provides a useful lower-density metallic comparison, while copper, brass and steel allow students to examine metals with substantially different mass-to-volume relationships.
The specimens may also be used in appropriate displacement-based experiments where volume is determined by the amount of liquid displaced by a submerged solid.
This provides an opportunity to compare geometrically calculated volume with experimentally measured displacement volume, depending on the laboratory procedure being followed.
The regular cylindrical shape makes the specimens suitable for measurement exercises involving diameter, length, volume and mass.
The set can therefore support multiple educational topics, including density, specific gravity, measurement, properties of matter and comparative material analysis.
Its compact four-specimen configuration makes the set easy to handle, distribute during practical sessions and store alongside other physics laboratory accessories.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Specific Gravity Metal Specimen Set is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories and educational institutions requiring standard metal samples for density and specific gravity investigations.
