Specific Gravity Cylinder Set

Specific Gravity Cylinder Set for Physics Labs | Density Comparison Metal Set

This specific gravity cylinder set is a straightforward tool for hands-on experiments measuring density and comparing materials. Designed for classroom use, the set includes four metal cylinders of identical size but different composition, allowing students to explore how mass and volume relate to density. With a simple setup, it is perfect for one-afternoon science labs focused on measurement and material properties.

Specific Gravity Set Includes:
Four metal cylinders (13 × 50 mm each)
• Aluminum cylinder
• Brass cylinder
• Steel cylinder
• Copper cylinder

Because each cylinder has the same dimensions, students can directly compare mass differences to determine density and specific gravity. This makes it easy to demonstrate how different materials can have very different properties even when they appear similar in size.

This set is ideal for experiments involving water displacement, mass measurement, and density calculations, helping students build a clear understanding of how specific gravity is determined.

Did You Know? Even though aluminum and copper cylinders may look similar in size, copper is much denser—meaning it contains more mass packed into the same volume.
