- Insulating outer jacket to cut down convective heat loss.
- Removable insulating lid with ports for a thermometer and the stirrer.
- Matching copper stirrer with a safety loop and handle supplied.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Inner vessel | Seamless spun copper |
| Outer jacket | Insulating, reduces convective loss |
| Lid | Removable insulating cover with thermometer and stirrer ports |
| Included | Matching copper stirrer with safety loop and handle |
| Method | Method of mixtures |
How It Is Used
Water of known mass is placed in the copper vessel and its temperature noted. A heated solid of known mass is dropped in, the mixture is stirred, and the final steady temperature is read through the lid. Equating heat lost by the solid to heat gained by the water and the calorimeter gives the specific heat capacity; liquids are tested in the same way, making it a standard calorimeter for lab heat experiments.
