Metal Density Cubes
Product Code : LSK-PL-10327
Metal Density Cubes (SKU LSK-PL-10327) are a set of six equal-sized 20 mm cubes in brass, lead, copper, zinc, aluminium and iron. Because every cube has the same volume, differences in mass show differences in density directly, which suits Class 9 density work, secondary physics and first-year college properties-of-matter practicals. The cube set is a Science Lab Supplies manufacture, made at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and quoted by the factory to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Size, count and metals of the 20 mm cube set are given in the table. In short, there are six cubes, one in each of six metals, and a 20 mm cube has a volume of 8 cm³, so a student who weighs a cube can calculate its density simply by dividing the mass in grams by 8.

Applications and Experiments for the Metal Density Cubes
The cubes are used to measure and compare density: students can weigh each one, confirm its volume by measuring the sides, and calculate mass divided by volume. Holding two cubes of equal size but very different mass also gives an immediate, hands-on feel for what density means.
- Class 9 science: calculating density from measured mass and volume, with volume also found by displacement in an Overflow Vessel (Eureka Can).
- Identifying an unknown metal by comparing its calculated density with table values.
- Practising caliper and balance readings on regular solids, for example with the 0.01 mm Vernier Caliper.
- Discussing why some metals are chosen for weight and others for lightness.
The set includes a lead cube. Lead is toxic, so students should handle it under supervision and wash their hands after the practical.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each set comprises six 20 mm cubes: brass, lead, copper, zinc, aluminium and iron. A balance and a caliper for measuring the cubes can be added to your enquiry, and they will appear as separate lines on the same quotation, together with any extra sets needed so each group has its own cubes.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover anything from a single set for a teacher demonstration to one set per bench, and each states the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested. Balances and calipers from the same physics lab equipment in India range can be priced on that quotation as well.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. A density practical can be priced by noting the number of cube sets on the contact page or in the enquiry cart, while tender purchases are explained on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which metals are in the Metal Density Cubes set?
Six metals: brass, lead, copper, zinc, aluminium and iron, one 20 mm cube of each, so all six have the same volume and can be compared by mass alone.
How do students find the density of a cube?
Weigh the cube, work out its volume from the 20 mm side (8 cm³), and divide mass by volume to get density in g/cm³ for each of the six metals.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The 20 mm cube sets are made in the Science Lab Supplies factory at Saha, Ambala, India, so buyers deal with the manufacturer directly for quotations and dispatch.
Is the lead cube safe for students to handle?
Lead is toxic. Handle the lead cube under teacher supervision, avoid hand-to-mouth contact, and wash hands after the practical so no residue is carried away.
