Copper Calorimeter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-H-11208

The copper calorimeter features a classic dual-wall configuration engineered specifically for quantitative thermodynamics experiments. The inner vessel is fabricated from high-purity, polished copper to ensure rapid thermal equalization, while the outer vessel provides a sturdy layer of protective insulation. The air gap between the two vessels, combined with a high-density insulating material, drastically lowers convective and radiant thermal loss during active laboratory procedures.

This apparatus offers classroom value by translating abstract thermodynamic formulas into measurable, real-world data points. It works seamlessly alongside other premium physics lab equipment to establish foundational scientific principles. The outer housing features a professional finish resistant to scratches, providing long-term reliability for demanding institutional procurement cycles.

Applications / Uses

Determining the specific heat capacity of aluminum, brass, iron, or unknown metallic alloys using the method of mixtures.

Quantifying latent heat of vaporization or fusion during phase-change thermodynamics lessons.

Demonstrating the laws of conservation of energy within high school and undergraduate laboratory classes.

Complementing advanced experiments performed with a thermodynamics apparatus setup.

How to Use the Copper Calorimeter for Physics Lab

Clean and completely dry the inner vessel before recording its baseline mass using a laboratory balance.

Fill the inner cylinder with a known quantity of distilled water at room temperature, then place it inside the outer protective housing.

Insert a high-precision sensor from our collection of laboratory thermometers through the lid port to record the initial water temperature.

Heat your solid test specimen to a known elevated temperature using an external heat source.

Quickly transfer the heated specimen into the water-filled inner vessel, closing the insulated lid immediately.

Agitate the fluid gently using the integrated wire loop stirrer until the temperature reading stabilizes at its peak value.

Record the final equilibrium temperature to complete the specific heat calculation process.

Safety Note: Handle heated metal specimens with appropriate safety tongs. Avoid splashing hot water onto skin or exposed work surfaces during the transfer step.

Care & Maintenance

Thorough Drying: Always wipe the inner copper surface with a soft towel after each use to prevent water staining or tarnish development.

Oxidation Control: Store the component parts disassembled in a dry environment to avoid long-term atmospheric copper oxidation.

Lid Inspection: Check that the port holes on the lid remain clear of debris to ensure safe insertion of delicate glass thermometers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Copper Calorimeter for Physics Lab used for?

This apparatus is primarily used in science classrooms to determine the specific heat capacity of various materials by tracking heat transfer within an insulated environment.

Why is copper used for the inner vessel of a calorimeter?

Copper has a low specific heat capacity and high thermal conductivity, allowing it to absorb minimal heat while rapidly reaching thermal equilibrium with the enclosed liquids.

Does this kit include a thermometer or a mass balance?

No, the standard kit includes the inner and outer vessels, lid, and stirrer; measuring tools like thermometers or balances must be purchased separately.

Can it be used for school STEM demonstrations?

Yes, its straightforward design and highly visual setup make it ideal for secondary school physics demonstrations and interactive group laboratory experiments.

How does the design prevent external heat loss?

The device incorporates a dual-wall framework that traps an insulating air gap and incorporates non-conductive materials to minimize radiation and convection losses.
