Elastic Materials Kit
Product Code : JA-FMDE-7785
The Elastic Materials Kit (SKU JA-FMDE-7785) is a set of stretchable and compressible samples for comparing how different materials behave under load, from foam and rubber to copper wire and steel springs. This elastic materials kit for Hooke's law work includes springs with hooked ends for testing beyond the elastic limit, so students can see both elastic and permanent deformation. JaincoLab supplies the kit for secondary school and college physics laboratories.
Specifications
The kit contains two 130 × 50 × 50 mm latex foam blocks, four elastic cords with eyelets, four soft rubber erasers, a 900 mm length of valve tubing, two 40 g reels of bare copper wire of 0.28 mm and 0.45 mm diameter, two wide steel springs and twenty-five expandable steel springs.

Experiments with the elastic materials kit
The kit is used in lessons on elasticity and Hooke's law, where students load springs, cords, tubing and wires, measure the extension or compression, and compare materials that obey Hooke's law with those that deform permanently once the elastic limit is passed.
- Plotting load against extension for steel springs to test Hooke's law
- Comparing the stretching of elastic cord, valve tubing and rubber with that of steel springs
- Loading expandable springs beyond the elastic limit to show permanent deformation
- Stretching thin copper wire to observe elastic and plastic behaviour
- Compressing latex foam blocks and rubber erasers to study compression

Frequently asked questions
What materials are in the Elastic Materials Kit?
It contains latex foam blocks, elastic cords with eyelets, soft rubber erasers, valve tubing, bare copper wire of 0.28 mm and 0.45 mm diameter, two wide steel springs and 25 expandable steel springs.
Can students test materials beyond the elastic limit?
Yes. The 25 expandable steel springs have hooked ends and are intended for testing beyond the elastic limit, and the thin copper wire also deforms permanently when overloaded.
Are masses and a stand included?
The kit list covers the materials only; slotted masses, hangers and stands are listed separately and can be added to the quotation.
