Buy Dip Circle & Inclinometer (Magnetic Dip Needle) in Kenya
KSh7,250
Key Benefits of This Dip Circle Instrument
- Tailored for Kenyan High School & University Physics
This apparatus aligns perfectly with the practical physics curriculum requirements in Kenya. It allows students to visually map out magnetic vectors, calculate horizontal component parameters, and find true local inclination.
- High-Precision Low-Friction Pivot
The magnetic needle is delicately balanced on jeweled bearings or a low-friction metal needle axis. This ensures immediate response to the weakest local magnetic fields with minimal mechanical drag.
- Dual Glass Viewing Shield
The vertical scale is securely housed within parallel glass windows. This protective structure shields the needle from stray laboratory drafts and breath currents while allowing students to take error-free parallax readings from both sides.
- Non-Magnetic Structural Integrity
Every component—from the heavy brass pillar to the graduated dial rings—is crafted from strictly non-ferrous alloys. This guarantees that the apparatus itself will never bias or distort the magnetic needle readings.
Laboratory Dip Circle (Inclinometer & Magnetic Dip Needle).
Explore the complexities of terrestrial magnetism with our premium Laboratory Dip Circle (also known as a Dip Needle or Inclinometer). This classic physics apparatus is engineered to measure the angle of magnetic dip—the exact angle at which the Earth’s magnetic field lines intersect the horizontal surface of the planet.
This high-accuracy instrument is a staple for secondary schools, colleges, and university geology and physics departments across Kenya, providing a clear visual and practical method for mapping Earth’s local magnetic forces.
