Joules Calorimeter, Fully Assembled, 6 ohms, Each
Joule’s Calorimeter is designed for conducting the electrical method of determining the specific heat capacity of a liquid. It is a valuable tool for professional laboratories, science classrooms, and home-based experiments.
Calorimeter Construction
The calorimeter consists of a nickel-plated copper vessel, measuring 76mm in height and 51mm in diameter. This inner vessel is lagged for insulation and enclosed within an outer container measuring 102mm in height and 70mm in diameter, reducing heat loss during experiments.
Lid & Stirring Mechanism
A close-fitting ebonite lid is included, featuring a built-in wire stirrer. This ensures uniform heat distribution throughout the liquid sample, improving measurement accuracy.
Electrical Components & Resistance
The calorimeter is equipped with a pair of 4mm socket terminals, which connect to a constantan wire heating coil. The coil has a resistance of approximately 6 ohms and operates effectively with a current of 0.5A, with a maximum limit of 1A. The power supply is not included.
How to Avoid Corrosion
- Thoroughly dry the vessel after cleaning to prevent moisture-induced copper corrosion.
- Store the vessel in a cool, dry area with low humidity.
- For extra protection, wrap the vessel in a sealed plastic bag with silica gel packets to absorb residual moisture
DISCLAIMER! Breaches in the nickel plating may still pose a challenge in fully preventing corrosion.

Product Questions
· To help prevent copper corrosion, it's best to ensure that the vessel is thoroughly dried after cleaning. Even a small amount of remaining moisture can speed up the corrosion process. We recommend storing the vessel in a cool, dry area with low humidity.
· For extra protection, you might consider wrapping the vessel in a sealed plastic bag with some silica gel packets to absorb any residual moisture.
· Please note, if there are any breaches in the nickel plating, it may be challenging to fully prevent corrosion.
2. Store the vessel in a cool, dry area with low humidity.
3. For extra protection, wrap the vessel in a sealed plastic bag with silica gel packets to absorb residual moisture.
