Apparatus for Changing the Thermal Conductivity
Product Code : SCL-PLE-12363
The Apparatus for Changing the Thermal Conductivity (SKU SCL-PLE-12363) is a thermal conductivity apparatus for comparing metals in school physics. Three rods of different metals with a movable metal ring are heated together, and students compare how quickly heat travels along each one using alcohol thermometers, glass cups, a water heater and a digital stopwatch. JaincoLab supplies it for heat transfer practicals and demonstrations.
Specifications
The apparatus consists of three rods of different metals fitted with a movable metal ring (300 x 150 mm), five 100 ml and five 250 ml glass cups, five alcohol thermometers reading -10 to 150 °C with five thermometer cases, a water heater, two copper cans, scissors and a digital stopwatch.

Applications of the thermal conductivity apparatus for comparing metals
The apparatus is used to compare the thermal conductivity of different metals: the rods are heated under the same conditions and the rate at which heat reaches the far end of each rod is observed and timed.
- Comparing the thermal conductivity of three different metals
- Timing heat flow along metal rods with the digital stopwatch
- Recording temperature rise with alcohol thermometers in the cups
- Introducing conduction as a method of heat transfer
- Heat practicals in middle and secondary-school physics
