Steel Specific Gravity Cylinder with Hook

This steel specific gravity cylinder features a top hook and measures 2 inches (50 mm) in length with a 0.5-inch (12.5 mm) diameter. The hook allows the cylinder to be easily lifted from boiling water or massed using a spring scale (not included), making it well suited for density investigation, specific heat, and specific gravity experiments. The cylinder includes a complete instruction manual with background on density, specific gravity, and specific heat, as well as inquiry-based student activities with capture sheets. Due to the nature of raw metals, some oxidation or corrosion from humidity and storage may occur; any oxidation can be scuffed off to restore the surface. These cylinders are designed for educational use and are not fabricated using ultra-high-precision machining. Tolerances are in the plus or minus 5 percent range of stated dimensions, though they are generally tighter.
