Calorimeter Joules Heater-Stirrer-Insulation

This Calorimeter with Joules heating element is an all-in-one kit designed for measuring the specific heat of liquids and determining the electrical equivalent of heat. It includes a 150mL aluminium outer can, a Styrofoam liner for insulation, a plastic insulator ring, and a transparent lid fitted with ports for a thermometer, stirrer, and heating coil. The removable spring heating element connects to a 0-6V DC power source to safely and accurately apply energy to your experiments.

This robust unit is perfect for student-led investigations into energy conversion, heat capacity, and the laws of thermodynamics.

Educational Benefits:

• Enables measurement of specific heat capacity
