A Thermal Conductometer is used in physics to measure the thermal conductivity of different materials. It consists of five prongs made from aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel, and iron.

Different metals conduct heat at different rates due to their atomic structure. With this demonstration students either clip temperature sensors to each metal bar, or place wax in the end of the bar to see which bar heats up the quickest when the centre of the apparatus is held over and open flame.

Recommended for use with Neulog's Temperature Sensor Logger.

Product Questions

I have one silver bar that never conducts enough heat to drop the marble. I heated it for 45 minutes with an isopropyl alcohol burner. Which metal would that be? Why doesn't it drop?

Hi Karla,
If it's just one unit that is not working, I would replace the unit.
If you have multiple units, I suggest trying with a Bunsen burner as the alcohol burner may not provide enough heat.
