Conductivity Rods Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SLE-4756
Jlab Export is a leading Conductivity Rods Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Conductivity Rods (code EL-SLE-4756) are a set of four rods made of different metals, each 12 inches long, used to show students how well various metals conduct heat. They are supplied to schools, colleges and research laboratories, can be reused once they have cooled, and a six-material set is also available. They are made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

What Are Conductivity Rods Used For?
Conduction is the transfer of heat through a solid from its hotter to its cooler part, and metals differ widely in how quickly they pass heat along. With rods of equal length made of different metals, students can see this directly. In the classic wax test, a thin coat of wax — or small pins stuck on with wax at equal spacing — is applied along each rod, the ends are heated equally in hot water or over one flame, and the class watches how far along each rod the wax melts in the same time: the better the conductor, the further the melting travels. The demonstration supports the topic of heat in middle-school science and thermal properties of matter in class 11 physics, and is a quick comparison in college labs before quantitative conductivity work.
The rods become hot at the heated end, so hold them in a stand or with tongs, let them cool fully before the next run, and scrape off old wax so each test starts from a clean surface.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Set size — the standard 4-rod set or the 6-material set.
- Metals — if your syllabus names particular metals, list them so JLab can confirm what each set contains.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units (sets); a set per practical group lets every group run the test at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do conductivity rods demonstrate?
They show that different metals conduct heat at different rates. Heated equally at one end, the rods warm along their length at different speeds, which students can see with wax or pins.
How many rods are in the set, and how long are they?
The standard set has 4 rods of different materials, each 12 inches long. A set of 6 different materials is also available if you want a wider comparison.
Which metals are included?
The listing does not name them. Ask JLab for the metals in the 4-rod or 6-rod set before ordering, especially if a worksheet expects specific metals.
Can the rods be reused?
Yes. Once they have cooled they can be used again; clean off any wax left from the previous run first.
Are a stand, wax or heat source included?
They are not listed as part of this item. A spirit lamp and other heat apparatus are separate catalogue items and can be added to the same enquiry.
Who manufactures these conductivity rods?
They are made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, which quotes for them directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an educational physics and science equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. These rod sets are produced at JLab’s own works instead of being sourced from traders, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy them factory-direct, each set is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders go through the manufacturer. The company holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 as a manufacturing enterprise and Importer-Exporter Code 3317504552. JLab exports worldwide and can ship to buyers in every region — for instance Trinidad and Tobago in Central America and the Caribbean, Mali in West Africa, Bulgaria in Eastern Europe, Turkey in the Middle East and Bhutan in South Asia. Tender buyers can refer to the JLab lab tenders page.
Heat and Thermal Physics Apparatus
- Advanced Conduction Unit — a bench unit for calculating the thermal conductivity of a metal test bar, for higher-level work.
- Spirit Lamps — aluminium spirit lamps that give a small, steady flame for heating the rods.
- Bar and Gauge Apparatus (Aluminium) — demonstrates the expansion and contraction of metals.
- Copper Calorimeter — for specific heat capacity experiments.
More physics lab equipment for schools is in the School Lab Equipment range.
