Specific Gravity Set – Square
Model Number: MTM-43
The Specific Gravity Set – Square from Micro Technologies is designed to help students determine and compare the specific gravity and density of equal-volume metallic specimens. The set contains four precision-shaped specimens made from aluminium, copper, brass and steel, each measuring approximately 12 mm × 12 mm × 50 mm.
Product Specification
The Specific Gravity Set – Square from Micro Technologies is a laboratory specimen collection designed for practical investigations involving specific gravity, density, mass, volume and comparative properties of metals.
The set consists of four square-section metal specimens manufactured from aluminium, copper, brass and steel. The specimens are machined to have approximately equal volumes, providing a convenient arrangement for comparing different metallic materials.
Each specimen measures approximately 12 mm × 12 mm × 50 mm. Since all four samples have comparable dimensions and volume, differences in their masses primarily result from differences in material density.
This makes the set particularly useful for demonstrating that equal volumes of different materials can have different masses.
Students can weigh each specimen using a suitable laboratory balance and compare the measured values. The specimens can also be measured with a Vernier Caliper to verify their dimensions.
For a rectangular specimen, volume can be determined using:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Once mass and volume have been determined, density can be calculated using:
Density = Mass ÷ Volume
The experimentally determined densities can then be compared with suitable reference values for aluminium, copper, brass and steel.
The set also supports the study of specific gravity, which expresses the density of a material relative to the density of a reference substance.
The aluminium specimen provides a useful lower-density metallic comparison, while copper, brass and steel provide higher-density samples.
Because the specimens are manufactured to comparable dimensions, students can visually observe that objects that appear similar in size may still differ significantly in mass.
The set can also support material identification exercises. Students may measure an unidentified specimen, calculate its density and compare the result with known values to determine its likely material.
Its regular square-section geometry makes volume calculation straightforward and provides an alternative to cylindrical or irregular density specimens.
The apparatus is useful for developing practical skills involving dimensional measurement, mass measurement, numerical calculation and interpretation of experimental results.
The four-specimen configuration is compact and suitable for routine laboratory demonstrations as well as individual student practical work.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Specific Gravity Set – Square is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories and educational institutions conducting experiments involving specific gravity and density.

FAQs
What is the Specific Gravity Set – Square used for?
It is used for experiments involving specific gravity, density, mass, volume and comparison of different metallic materials.
How many specimens are included in the set?
The complete set contains four metal specimens.
Which metals are included?
The set includes aluminium, copper, brass and steel.
What are the dimensions of each specimen?
Each specimen measures approximately 12 mm × 12 mm × 50 mm.
Do all four specimens have equal volume?
Yes. The specimens are machined to have approximately equal volumes, allowing their masses and densities to be compared.
Why do equal-volume specimens have different masses?
Different metals have different densities. Therefore, equal volumes of aluminium, copper, brass and steel do not have equal masses.
Can students calculate density using this set?
Yes. Students can measure the mass and dimensions of each specimen and calculate density using Density = Mass ÷ Volume.
Can the specimens be measured with a Vernier Caliper?
Yes. Their regular dimensions make them suitable for measurement using an appropriate Vernier Caliper.
Can this set be used for material identification?
Yes. Experimentally determined density values can be compared with suitable reference values to help identify the specimen material.
Where is the Specific Gravity Set – Square commonly used?
It is suitable for physics laboratories, material science laboratories, schools, colleges, universities and scientific teaching laboratories.
