Reusable learning aid for repeated supervised school and college practicals. Specification-dependent accuracy — needle balance, damping type, and scale markings are confirmed at order stage. What Is Included 4 small compasses. A storage pouch, activity sheet, label, box, or certificate may be included depending on the configuration ordered — confirm exact contents with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering. Applications / Uses Tracing magnetic field direction around bar magnets Identifying north and south poles of classroom magnets Showing compass needle alignment with magnetic fields Demonstrating field direction near electromagnets and coils Supporting STEM experiments on magnetism and navigation Using with magnetic field demonstration plates and horseshoe magnets How to Use the Small Compasses (4 pcs.) Place the compass on a flat, non-magnetic laboratory surface. Keep the compass away from phones, steel benches, watches, and strong magnets before taking a reference reading. Place a magnet near the compass and observe the needle movement. Move the compass to different points around the magnet. Mark the needle direction at each point to trace the magnetic field pattern. Repeat the experiment with different magnet shapes or pole orientations. Return all four compasses to storage after the activity. Safety note: Use under teacher supervision. Keep compasses away from strong magnets when not in use, because strong magnetic fields may affect needle magnetization. Do not open the casing or allow small parts near young children. Care & Maintenance Store the compasses dry and away from strong magnets. Keep the compass faces clean and free from scratches. Do not drop, crush, heat, or open the compass body. Remove any compass from use if the needle sticks, leaks, cracks, or fails to align freely. 4-Piece Compass Set vs Single Transparent Compass Lab Glassware Manufacturer offers compasses in two formats to match different classroom needs. The Small Compasses (4 pcs.) is a multi-piece set intended for group work, letting several students at a lab station trace magnetic fields at the same time. The Transparent Compass Ø 45 mm is sold individually with a specified 45 mm diameter, suited to a single demonstration station or a teacher-led front-of-class activity. Labs equipping multiple student stations typically choose the 4-piece set, while labs needing one confirmed-size compass for a single demonstration point choose the individual transparent compass. Both can also be used alongside the Magnetic Field Demonstration Plates and the Magnetic 3D Field Demonstrator for a fuller magnetism teaching sequence. Why Choose Lab Glassware Manufacturer Lab Glassware Manufacturer manufactures and exports laboratory glassware, scientific laboratory instruments, lab experiment setups, science kits, mathematics kits, didactic models, and STEM models. Its product range supports physics lab equipment, general lab equipment, school lab equipment, and educational laboratory procurement. The brand supplies schools, colleges, universities, research institutions, industrial laboratories, distributors, and export buyers across India and international markets including Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Egypt.
