Twenty Metal Sample Collection

Quick answer: The Twenty Metal Sample Collection is a set of 20 real metal specimens for hands-on classroom study, letting students compare colour, lustre, surface texture and physical properties across different metallic materials.

Product Description

The LabEquip Twenty Metal Sample Collection brings 20 separate specimens together for comparative classroom study. Learners can place the samples side by side and record observable attributes such as colour, lustre, surface texture, specimen form and response to approved non-destructive tests.

The collection supports chemistry, physics and introductory materials-science lessons on metal properties and classification. The exact list of metals included, specimen sizes and storage case details are not stated in this listing; we have not invented these details and recommend confirming the specific specimen list with our sales team before ordering.
