Specific Gravity Set
Product Code : JA-MLE-9364
The Specific Gravity Set (SKU JA-MLE-9364) contains four square-section metal specimens of identical size, 13 mm wide and 50 mm long, in aluminium, brass, steel and copper. Because the four pieces in this specific gravity set of square-section metal specimens have the same volume, the ratio of their masses is the ratio of their densities, and students can go on to find each metal's specific gravity by weighing it in air and in water.
Specifications
The set has four equally sized square-section specimens, each 13 mm wide and 50 mm long, one each of aluminium, brass, steel and copper.

Applications of the specific gravity set
The specimens support the standard relative density practical, in which a solid is weighed in air and then fully immersed in water, and the weight in air divided by the loss of weight in water gives its specific gravity.
- Finding specific gravity from the weight in air and the loss of weight in water
- Calculating volume from the 13 x 13 x 50 mm dimensions and density from mass
- Comparing the densities of four common metals of equal volume
- Identifying an unknown metal specimen by its specific gravity

Frequently asked questions
What size are the specimens?
Each is a square-section piece 13 mm wide and 50 mm long, and all four are the same size.
Which metals are included?
Aluminium, brass, steel and copper.
How is specific gravity found?
Weigh the specimen in air and then fully immersed in water; the weight in air divided by the loss of weight in water gives the specific gravity.
What should a quotation request include?
Send the SKU JA-MLE-9364, the number of sets and the delivery destination.
