Block Calorimeter Bundle

Block Calorimeter Bundle

G1580926

Product code: G1580926

This can be used for the experimental determination of the specific heat capacity of various metals. Cylindrical blocks, all of mass 1kg adjusted to an accuracy of +2%.

Includes four block calorimeters:

  • 1 x Copper
  • 1 x Mild Steel
  • 1 x Aluminium
  • 1 x Brass

Each block is drilled with two holes: a large central hole, 12.5mm diameter (75mm deep) for an Immersion Heater (B8A42584), and a smaller hole, 7.5mm diameter (72mm deep) to suit a thermometer or temperature sensor.

Each Calorimeter is also available to purchase separately.

Associated Products:

  • Calorimeter Jackets - B8R07701: 50mm, B8R07701: 75mm
  • Immersion Heater - B8A42584
  • Thermometers - B8R01905
  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Energy: Comparing amounts of energy transferred (J, kJ, kW hour)
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Structure of Matter: Calculating energy changes involved on heating, using specific heat capacity; and those involved in changes of state, using specific latent heat.
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Energy: Energy changes in a system involving heating, doing work using forces, or doing work using an electric current: calculating the stored energies and energy changes involved.  Power as the rate of transfer of energy.
  • A few drops of water should be added to the Calorimeter thermometer hole to ensure good contact between the thermometer.
