Lead Shots Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-POM-11113
These laboratory-grade lead shots consist of smoothly polished, uniformly sized spherical pellets. Because lead has a well-documented and relatively low specific heat capacity (approximately 0.128 J/(g·°C)), these shots are an ideal medium for heat transfer experiments. When utilized alongside a steam heater and a calorimeter, they enable students to precisely observe and calculate thermal energy exchanges without the physical inconsistencies often found in irregularly shaped metal lumps.
Manufactured and packaged for the safety and convenience of school and university settings, the lead shots are supplied in a secure, reusable container. They are carefully processed to minimize surface dust and oxidation, ensuring that your physics lab equipment remains clean and that your experimental results are repeatable and accurate across hundreds of lab sessions.
Key Features
Uniform Size and Shape: The consistent spherical design ensures even heat distribution and highly predictable volumetric displacement.
High Density: Ideal for Archimedes' principle demonstrations and fluid density calculations.
Predictable Thermal Properties: Provides consistent, reliable data for specific heat capacity and thermal equilibrium experiments.
Minimal Oxidation: Specially processed to resist rapid surface degradation, giving the product a long educational shelf life.
Secure Packaging: Delivered in a durable, tightly sealed plastic bottle for safe storage and spill-free dispensing.
Ease of Use: The smooth, frictionless surface allows for easy pouring into narrow calorimeters or graduated cylinders.

Applications / Uses
Specific Heat Determination: Heating the lead shots and transferring them to water to mathematically determine their specific heat capacity.
Density and Buoyancy: Utilized in volumetric displacement tests to teach Archimedes' principle.
Thermal Equilibrium: Demonstrating heat exchange and conservation of energy in various thermodynamics apparatus.
Mechanical Counterweights: Acting as easily adjustable, fine-tuned weights for lever, pulley, and pendulum experiments.
How to Use the Laboratory Lead Shots
Measurement: Use a digital laboratory balance to weigh the exact mass of lead shots required for your specific calorimetry or density experiment.
Heating (for Calorimetry): Place the weighed shots into a dry steam heater chamber and heat them to a uniform, recorded temperature.
Transfer: Quickly but carefully pour the heated lead shots into a prepared calorimeter containing a known mass and temperature of water.
Observation: Stir the water gently and use a laboratory thermometer to record the final equilibrium temperature of the mixture.
Safety/Handling Note: Always wear nitrile lab gloves when handling lead products. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and cool water immediately after use. Do not ingest, prevent the creation of lead dust, and ensure proper disposal or recycling according to local environmental regulations.
Care & Maintenance
Safe Storage: Keep the lead shots tightly sealed in their original container when not in use to prevent accidental spills and limit exposure to ambient air.
Dry Environment: Store in a cool, dry cabinet to prevent the accumulation of moisture, which can accelerate surface oxidation.
Contamination Prevention: Do not mix the lead shots with other metals, liquids, or chemicals, as this will alter their pure thermal properties and mass.
