How Does It Compare with Other JLab Nichrome Wire Listings?
| Listing | Form and sizes | Details given in the listing |
|---|---|---|
| This Nichrome Wire (EL-SLE-4668) | 75 g rolls in SWG 24, 26, 30 and 32 | Nickel chromium iron alloy for heating activities in experiments |
| Nichrome Bare Wire 24 Swg | Bare wire, single gauge (24 SWG) | 80% nickel and 20% chrome; high temperature tolerance; can be welded, needs a phosphoric acid flux for soldering |
| Nichrome Wire (strips and coils) | Strips and coils | Resistance wire for use as a resistance heating alloy |
Choose this listing when a school or college lab wants several gauges in small rolls for student practicals. The 24 SWG bare-wire listing suits buyers who need only that gauge, and the strips-and-coils listing suits heating-element work rather than bench experiments.
What Is Nichrome Wire Used For?
Nichrome is the usual wire for heating experiments because its resistance is far higher than that of copper and it resists oxidation when it glows red hot. In class 10 science it is used for the Ohm’s law activity and to show the heating effect of electric current: a short coil connected to a low-voltage supply warms up or glows. In class 12 physics practicals and college labs, a measured length of nichrome is a common test wire for finding resistance and resistivity with a metre bridge, and for comparing resistances in series and parallel. Short pieces can also be bent into wire loops for flame tests or inoculating loops and held in a loop holder.
A higher SWG number means a thinner wire, so for the same length SWG 32 has a higher resistance than SWG 24 and heats up at a lower current; the thicker gauges carry more current and keep their shape better as heating coils. Cut lengths with wire cutters, straighten kinks before measuring a length for resistance work, and keep the roll dry and coiled. A coil stays hot for some time after the supply is switched off, so let it cool before touching it.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Gauge — SWG 24, SWG 26, SWG 30 or SWG 32; you can mix gauges in one enquiry.
- Number of rolls per gauge — each unit is one 75 g roll, and the minimum order is 10 units.
- Length or resistance data — the listing gives gauge and roll weight only, so ask JLab before ordering if your practical sheet calls for a stated resistance per metre.
- Related apparatus — meter bridge, rheostat and loop holder are separate catalogue items and can go in the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is nichrome wire used for in a school lab?
Mainly for heating and resistance experiments. Students use it to show the heating effect of current, to verify Ohm’s law, and as the test wire for resistance and resistivity measurements with a metre bridge; short pieces also make flame-test or inoculating loops.
Which gauges and roll size can I order?
Four gauges are listed: SWG 24, SWG 26, SWG 30 and SWG 32, each in 75 g rolls. Their standard nominal diameters run from 0.559 mm for SWG 24 down to 0.274 mm for SWG 32.
Which gauge should I choose?
It depends on the experiment. The thinner SWG 30 and SWG 32 wires give more resistance per length, which suits resistance and low-current work, while the thicker SWG 24 and SWG 26 wires carry more current and hold their shape as heating coils. Ask JLab if you are unsure for a particular practical.
What length of wire is on a roll, and what is its resistance per metre?
The listing does not state them. Both depend on the gauge, since a 75 g roll of thinner wire is longer; ask JLab for the figures for the gauge you plan to order.
How is this different from the Nichrome Bare Wire 24 Swg listing?
That listing covers a single 24 SWG bare wire described as 80% nickel and 20% chrome, while this one offers four gauges in 75 g rolls of nickel chromium iron alloy. Choose by the gauges you need.
What information is needed for an export quotation?
Send the gauges and number of rolls, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms (for example FOB or CIF), any packing or labelling needs, and the tender reference if you are buying against a tender.
Who manufactures this nichrome wire?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of physics lab equipment and school lab consumables in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. Its nichrome wire is produced at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order it factory-direct, every roll is visually inspected before it is packed, and repeat orders in the same gauges come from the manufacturer. The company is registered under CIN U29309HR2017PTC069123 and holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 (manufacturing enterprise). JLab exports worldwide and can ship to buyers in every region, for example Kazakhstan in Central Asia, Malawi in East Africa, Nigeria in West Africa, Angola in Central Africa and Canada in North America. Schools and departments buying through a tender can find details on the JLab lab tenders page.
Apparatus Used with Nichrome Wire
- Meter Bridge and Pencil Jockey — a four-gap bridge on a laminated base, used to measure the resistance of a length of wire.
- Rheostats (Nichrome Type) — variable resistors with bell terminals in which nichrome wire acts as the resistance, for setting the current in the circuit.
- Loop Holder — an ebonite-handled holder with a screw-chuck head for wire loops.
- Nichrome Bare Wire 24 Swg — a single-gauge bare nichrome wire.
- Nichrome Wire (strips and coils) — nichrome in strip and coil form for resistance heating.
