Steam Heater to Heat Lead Shots
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11688
Quick Answer: The Steam Heater to Heat Lead Shots is a double-walled cylindrical steam chamber with a central sample tube and bottom release, used to heat lead shots to 100 °C before dropping them into a calorimeter.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
- Double-walled cylindrical chamber in non-ferrous alloy.
- Central hollow tube holds the sample, with a release at the bottom.
- Steam inlet and outlet tubes keep steam circulating.
- Lid drilled for a thermometer to monitor the sample.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Chamber | Double-walled, cylindrical |
| Material | Corrosion-resistant non-ferrous alloy |
| Sample tube | Central hollow tube with bottom release |
| Steam connections | Inlet and outlet tubes |
| Lid | Pre-drilled for a thermometer |
| Sample temperature | 100 °C, heated by steam |
How It Is Used
Steam from a boiler is passed through the jacket while lead shots sit in the central tube with a thermometer among them. Once the shots reach 100 °C they are released straight into a calorimeter of water, and the temperature rise is used to find their specific heat capacity by the method of mixtures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature does the Steam Heater to Heat Lead Shots reach?
Steam circulating through the double wall heats the sample in the central tube to 100 °C.
How are the hot lead shots transferred from the steam heater?
The central sample tube has a release at the bottom, so the shots drop directly into a calorimeter placed below.
