These rods are an ideal resource to demonstrate thermalconductivity experiments. Each set consistsof 6 different metal rods. Each rod is 300mm long x 3mm diameter. The metals provided to demonstrate thermal conductivity are iron, copper, aluminium, lead, brass and zinc.
Metals typically have a relatively high concentration of free conduction electrons, and these can transfer heat as they move through the lattice. Phonon-based conduction also occurs, but the effect is swamped by that of electronic conduction. Thermal conductivity is described as the rate at which heat passes through a specified material. These rods will show that this rate is different for the different types of metal included in the set.
Each product is carefully designed by a team of laboratory professionals and experienced engineers with quality and durability in mind. They are manufactured with only the highest grade, raw materials and according to international quality standards to ensure that they can withstand use in even the toughest laboratory environments.
