  • 6 piece equal mass metal cylinder set. Set includes copper, lead, brass, zinc, iron and aluminum. Each of the six metals in this set vary in length from 2" to 7.5", but have the same 100g mass, and 0.6" (16mm) diameter. Each cylinder features a drilled hole at one end for suspension
  • Excellent for physics classrooms. This set allows learners to explore specific gravity & specific heat, and study density & mass
  • Set includes a complete instruction manual that gives a background on density, mass, specific gravity & specific heat and includes inquiry based student activities with capture sheets
  • Due to the nature of raw metals, some oxidation or corrosion due to humidity and storage may occur. Simply scuff any oxidation off to make the item look brand new again
  • Designed to be used in an educational setting and are not fabricated using ultra high precision machining. Expect tolerances in the +/- 5% range of any stated dimensions (although they are generally much tighter).


Product Description

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.

EISCO Scientific manufactures and supplies lab equipment for education and industry. The company, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Rochester, NY, meets International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standard 9001: 2000.

6 Piece Equal Mass Metal Cylinder Set

Each of the six metals in this set vary in length from 2" to 7.5", but have the same 100g mass, and 0.6" (16mm) diameter. Each cylinder features a drilled hole at one end for suspension.

Set includes:

  • Copper
  • Lead
  • Brass
  • Zinc
  • Iron
  • Aluminum

Excellent for physics classrooms. Density metals have a wide range of educational applications for all grade levels, including density investigation, specific heat and specific gravity exploration. Set includes a complete instruction manual that gives a background on density, specific gravity & specific heat and includes inquiry based student activities with capture sheets.

Due to the nature of raw metals, some oxidation or corrosion due to humidity and storage may occur. Simply scuff any oxidation off to make the item look brand new again. These density metals are designed to be used in an educational setting and are not fabricated using ultra high precision machining. Expect tolerances in the +/- 5% range of any stated dimensions (although they are generally much tighter).

The Eisco Labs Density Investigation series is designed to help students identify and figure out mass, understand the relationship between mass, volume & density, to understand specific heat and specific gravity and provide them with quality introductory physics and chemistry concepts.

Hmmm. When I received this item I only had 4 on the cylinders. I’m not happy honestly.

The Amazon shipping box arrived tie-up, and the wooden holder was missing the brand decal & was cracked from one end to the other. Most likely damaged in shipping. Also, the iron cylinder is 0.4g too heavy. The other 5 cylinders correctly weigh 100g each. I will be returning this item to Amazon, and re-ordering the set.

Update:I got a replacement rod sent to me. But, turns out they sent me an iron rod, not the zinc that was missing from the set! Seriously, this sort of mix-up is not only bad for customers, but also for this manufacturer's bottom line! Sad.They don't weigh exactly the same, and are not labeled (like reviews say before).Mine was missing a rod, hope the manufacturer sends it to me.Plastic cover was badly torn, so maybe it fell out.

I love this product. It came in good condition. It is really cool to see how density varies among different materials. I would recommend this to friends and family

I work in a metrology lab and thus is a great conversation piece. Each weighed 100g +/-0.5g worst case. The only detractor was the slugs were a bit beat up. But it didn't effect weight.
