Quick Answer: The Wood and Metal Cylinder apparatus compares the heat conductivity of wood and metal: when paper is wrapped tightly around the cylinder and briefly heated, the metal side conducts heat away fast enough that the paper does not scorch, while the wood side does not.
Edulab China manufactures and exports the Wood and Metal Cylinder directly from its China production facility, supplying schools, colleges, laboratory distributors and institutional buyers worldwide. It is part of Edulab China's Heat range within Physics Lab Equipment, manufactured in-house and export-packed for sea and air freight.
Key Features
- Combines a wood section and a metal section within a single cylinder for direct comparison
- Paper wrapped tightly around the cylinder demonstrates differing conduction when briefly heated
- Clearly shows that metal conducts heat away from the paper quickly, while wood does not
- Simple, memorable apparatus for teaching relative thermal conductivity

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does the Wood and Metal Cylinder demonstrate different conductivity?
Paper is wrapped tightly around the cylinder and the rod is briefly heated: over the metal section the paper is protected because the metal conducts heat away too quickly to scorch it, while over the wood section the paper can scorch, showing that wood is a much poorer conductor of heat than metal.
