Product Code : EL-ERAM-4377
Jlab Export is a leading Minerals Specific Gravity Collection (Set of 10) Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Minerals Specific Gravity Collection (Set of 10) (code EL-ERAM-4377) is a set of 10 mineral specimens for teaching specific gravity — the ratio of the weight of a mineral to the weight of an equal volume of water — by weighing each specimen in air and then in water. It suits geology, earth science and physics practicals in schools and colleges. JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd) prepares the set at its works in Ambala, India.

How to Find the Specific Gravity of a Specimen
- Weigh the dry specimen in air — call this W(air).
- Tie it to the balance with a thin thread, lower it into a beaker of water so that it is fully immersed without touching the sides, and weigh it again — W(water).
- The loss in weight, W(air) − W(water), equals the weight of the water the specimen displaces, which is an equal volume of water.
- Specific gravity = W(air) ÷ [W(air) − W(water)]. It has no units and is numerically equal to the density in g/cm³.
What Is the Specific Gravity Collection Used For?
Specific gravity is one of the more objective identification tests because it gives a number rather than a description. Most common rock-forming minerals, such as quartz and feldspar, have similar, moderate values, while metallic ore minerals such as galena are far heavier for their size — students can often feel the difference in the hand before they measure it. Because the method rests on Archimedes’ principle, the set also links earth science with the physics of buoyancy and relative density, making it useful in secondary-school science, college geology and physics labs, and teacher training. Dry each specimen after weighing, and do not leave porous or soluble minerals standing in water.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — at least 10 sets.
- Specimen list — request it with the quotation if your syllabus names particular minerals.
- Weighing apparatus — add spring balances or an Archimedes principle kit if your lab does not already have them.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the specific gravity of a mineral?
It is the ratio of the mineral’s weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. A specific gravity of three, for example, means the mineral is three times as heavy as the same volume of water.
How do students measure it with this set?
They weigh each specimen in air and again while it hangs fully immersed in water. The difference is the weight of an equal volume of water, and dividing the weight in air by that difference gives the specific gravity.
Is a balance included?
No. This listing covers the 10 mineral specimens; a spring balance or other balance, thread and a beaker of water are needed and can be ordered separately.
What are the minimum order and dispatch time?
The minimum order is 10 sets, normally dispatched within 7–10 working days after visual inspection. For export quotations, include the destination port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF and any tender reference.
Who manufactures this collection?
JLab — Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd — prepares it at its Ambala works in Haryana, India, and supplies it directly.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a physics, geology and general school lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The specific gravity collection is put together at JLab’s own works, not bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers can source the specimens and the weighing apparatus from one manufacturer; each set is visually inspected before dispatch. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — Portugal in Southern Europe, the Czech Republic in Eastern Europe, Tunisia in North Africa, South Africa in Southern Africa and Jordan in the Middle East, for example. Tender buyers can refer to the JLab lab tenders page.
Apparatus for Specific Gravity Practicals
- Spring Balance — a rectangular spring balance with gram and newton scales for weighing in air and water.
- Archimedes Principle Kit — a Newton meter, displacement vessel, beakers and solids for buoyancy experiments.
- Metal Cubes — six solid metal cubes for density and specific gravity measurements.
- Collection of 9 Mohs Hardness Set — the Mohs hardness scale minerals for another identification test.
