6 piece specific heat metal cylinder set. Set includes copper, lead, brass, zinc, iron and aluminum. Each of the six metals in this set have the same volume, and measure 1.5" (38mm) in length and 0.4" (9.5mm) diameter. Each cylinder features a drilled hole at one end for suspension. Excellent for physics classrooms. Density metals have a wide range of educational applications for all grade levels, including density investigation, specific heat and specific gravity exploration. Due to the nature of raw metals, some oxidation or corrosion due to humidity and storage may occur. Simply scuff any oxidation off to make the item look brand new again. These density metals are designed to be used in an educational setting and are not fabricated using ultra high precision machining. Expect tolerances in the +/- 5% range of any stated dimensions (although they are generally much tighter). The Eisco Labs Density Investigation series is designed to help students identify and figure out mass, understand the relationship between mass, volume & density, to understand specific heat and specific gravity and provide them with quality introductory physics and chemistry concepts.

• Easy Suspension for Demonstrations: Each cylinder in this metal sample kit features a drilled hole for convenient suspension. This design makes it simpler to hang the cylinders during physics classroom demonstrations
• Durable and Educational: Crafted for educational use, these cylinders may show some raw metal oxidation, easily removable by scuffing. Expect dimensional tolerances in the +/- 5% range, demonstrating real-world material variability
