Floating Graphite Disk Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-EI-10674

The Floating Graphite Disk is a physics laboratory demonstration component used for showing diamagnetic levitation and the interaction between graphite and strong magnetic fields. It is suitable for schools, colleges, STEM labs, physics practical rooms, teacher demonstrations, distributors, and educational laboratory procurement buyers.

Product Description

The Floating graphite disk from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is intended for classroom magnetism demonstrations where students observe how a light graphite disk can float or stabilize above a suitable permanent magnet arrangement. The supplied product name confirms a floating graphite disk, but the graphite grade, disk size, thickness, and compatible magnet system must be confirmed before final publication.

Graphite is used in diamagnetic levitation demonstrations because it can be repelled by a magnetic field when the material grade and magnet arrangement are suitable. This product helps teachers explain diamagnetism, magnetic-field gradients, repulsive magnetic response, passive levitation, and material behaviour beyond simple attraction to magnets.

Key Features

• Diamagnetic levitation demonstration: designed to show floating behaviour over a suitable magnetic field arrangement.
• Graphite disk format: supplied product name confirms a disk-shaped graphite component.
• Magnetism teaching aid: supports lessons on diamagnetism, magnetic repulsion, and field gradients.
• Visual classroom effect: helps students observe a physical result that contrasts with ordinary magnetic attraction.
• Capacity not applicable: this is a solid physics demonstration component, not a liquid-volume product.
• Suitable for STEM activities: useful for inquiry-based experiments on materials and magnetic behaviour.
• Specification-dependent performance: graphite grade, thickness, and magnet arrangement must be verified for reliable levitation.

How to Use the Floating Graphite Disk

1. Confirm the compatible magnet arrangement and graphite disk grade before use.
2. Place the magnet array or magnetic base on a stable, flat laboratory bench.
3. Keep phones, watches, magnetic cards, and sensitive instruments away from strong magnets.
4. Use clean, dry hands or a soft handling tool to position the graphite disk above the magnet array.
5. Release the disk gently and observe whether it stabilizes or floats over the magnetic field.
6. Ask students to observe position, stability, and the effect of small air movements or tilting.
7. Compare the behaviour with ordinary non-floating objects and magnetic materials.
8. Return the graphite disk to its storage case after the demonstration.

Safety note: Strong magnets can pinch fingers and damage electronics. Keep magnets away from pacemakers, magnetic cards, phones, watches, and loose iron objects. Graphite disks may be brittle; do not bend, drop, sand, or scratch the disk.

Care & Maintenance

• Store the disk in a protective case to prevent chipping and surface damage.
• Handle only by the edges where possible.
• Keep the disk dry, clean, and free from dust or oil.
• Remove from use if cracked, warped, chipped, or unable to perform consistently with the correct magnet arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Floating Graphite Disk used for?

A Floating Graphite Disk is used to demonstrate diamagnetic levitation and the repulsion of graphite in a suitable magnetic field.

Does the disk float by itself?

No. The disk requires a suitable magnet arrangement. Levitation depends on graphite grade, disk thickness, weight, and magnet-field geometry.

What type of graphite is required?

The graphite grade is not confirmed. Add pyrolytic graphite, natural graphite, or any specific grade only after checking the final product specification.

Are magnets included with the product?

Magnet inclusion is not confirmed. List magnets or a magnetic base only if they are supplied with the final kit.

Can students handle the disk?

Yes, under supervision. The disk should be handled gently because graphite can chip or break if dropped or bent.

Is it suitable for school physics labs?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school and college physics demonstrations on diamagnetism, magnetic fields, and material behaviour.
