Product Code : SCL-PLE-11578
Quick Answer: The Heat Conductivity Apparatus, also called the Thermal Conductivity Kit, compares heat flow in copper, brass and iron rods set radially in a metal ring, with an extra-long copper rod, an insulated wooden handle and wax to show how far heat has travelled.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
- Three metal rods: copper, brass and iron.
- One extra-long copper rod for following heat transfer over time.
- Rods arranged radially in a metal ring so they heat together.
- Insulated wooden handle for safe holding.
- Wax included as a visual indicator.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Rods | 3: copper, brass, iron |
| Extra rod | 1 extra-long copper rod |
| Arrangement | Radial, in a metal ring |
| Handle | Insulated wooden handle |
| Heat source | Spirit lamp or Bunsen burner |
| Indicator | Wax (included) |
How It Is Used
Wax is applied along the rods and the ring is held by its insulated handle over a spirit lamp or Bunsen burner so all the rods are heated at once. Students watch the wax melt along each rod and compare how quickly heat travels in copper, brass and iron.
