The Ibex Sciences Wooden Calorimeter is a standard physics and chemistry laboratory apparatus used to measure heat transfer and calculate specific heat capacity. It features an inner metal cup housed within an outer wooden box lined with insulating material to minimize heat exchange with the surrounding environment. [1, 2, 3]
Key Product Dimensions & Components
- Inner Vessel: Typically an aluminum or copper cup (often sized 75x50mm) that contains the liquid medium.
- Outer Box: A polished, durable soft wooden box packed with felt or wool insulation.
- Sliding Lid: A wooden or bakelite cover with built-in ports to accommodate a thermometer and a stirrer.
- Stirrer: A matching copper or aluminum loop stirrer to distribute heat evenly. [1, 3, 4, 5]
Core Laboratory Applications
- Specific Heat Capacity: Determining how much heat a solid or liquid absorbs.
- Latent Heat: Testing energy changes during phase changes, like ice melting into water.
- Heat Transfer Laws: Demonstrating the law of conservation of energy (heat lost equals heat gained). [1, 2, 3]
Safety & Maintenance Rules
- No Direct Flame: Never apply heat directly to the calorimeter cup. Use an external hot water bath instead.
- Moisture Protection: Always dry all components thoroughly after use to prevent metal corrosion and wood warping.
- Storage: Store the kit completely assembled in its dry protective casing to preserve the insulation properties. [1]
