Metal Cylinder
Product Code : EL-POM-10360
Quick answer: The metal cylinder set contains six solid cylinders, one each of aluminium, brass, zinc, copper, iron and lead, with carefully turned ends and smooth surfaces. Students measure and weigh them to find density and specific gravity, and compare the materials in electrical and thermal experiments. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for schools, colleges and universities.

How the cylinders are used
A regular cylinder is the simplest solid for a density practical, because its volume follows directly from two measurements: V = pi r^2 h, using the diameter from vernier callipers and the length between the turned ends. Weighing each cylinder and dividing mass by volume gives its density, and the six materials span values from light aluminium to dense lead.
- Measure the diameter of each cylinder at several places with vernier callipers and take the mean.
- Measure the length between the turned ends.
- Weigh the cylinder on a balance.
- Calculate the volume and density, and compare the results for the six materials.
The volume can be checked by displacement in a measuring cylinder or Eureka can, and weighing each cylinder in air and in water gives its specific gravity by Archimedes' principle. Because all six pieces share one shape, the set is also convenient for comparing how different metals conduct heat and electricity.
