- Description
Description
This conductometer heat conduction apparatus demonstrates how different metals transfer heat under identical conditions. Five metal rods, aluminium, brass, copper, nickel, and steel, are heated simultaneously over a flame so students can compare conduction performance fairly. Wax placed at the tip of each rod acts as a clear indicator, the faster the wax melts, the faster heat is being conducted along that metal.
Supplied with all required materials for the activity, including a wax block and instructions. A heat source is required.
FAQs
Q: What does this apparatus demonstrate?
A: Relative thermal conductivity of five metals by comparing wax melt times at rod tips.
Q: Which metals are included?

Q: How do students judge which metal conducts best?
A: By observing how quickly the wax melts at each rod tip when heated together.
Q: What is included with the apparatus?
A: The conductometer on handle, wax block, and instructions.
Q: What else is required to run the experiment?
A: A suitable heat source.
