Further Details:
Prove that metals expand when heated and measure their coefficient of expansion. This device is easy to set up, use and store because you can heat the rods with warm tap water, there is no danger of burns from steam. The high-contrast dial indicator (English-reading or metric) is sensitive to 1/100 mm. Includes: heavy duty stainless steel channel base; three nipples for water intake, water outlet and thermometer; and four rods (steel, aluminum, brass, copper). Instructions included.
Precise Measurement for Laboratory ReliabilityThe apparatus offers high precision in thermal expansion studies with 0.01 mm accuracy. Suitable for academic and engineering labs, its analog dial gauge allows users to observe tiny changes as metal rods expand under heat. The construction ensures minimal external interference, supporting repeatable and reliable results every session.
Flexible Rod Material OptionsChoose from brass, copper, or steel rods to explore expansion characteristics of different metals. Whether it's a physics demonstration or a detailed engineering experiment, varied material options help investigate the diverse properties of metals under thermal stress.
User-Friendly and Durable DesignIts durable plastic base, transparent glass cylinder, and easy-reading dial gauge promote effective, hands-on learning. The apparatus requires no electricity and is housed in foam-fitted packaging, protecting the robust components during transit and storage. Its single rod setup ensures simplicity and efficiency in experimental procedures.
FAQ's of Linear Expansion Apparatus:
Q: How do I use the Linear Expansion Apparatus in laboratory experiments?
A: To use the apparatus, secure the selected metal rod (brass, copper, or steel) in place. Provide heat via water or steam externally and monitor rod expansion using the analog dial gauge, which gives readings at every 0.01 mm increment.
Q: What rod materials can be used with this apparatus?
A: The device is compatible with standard brass, copper, and steel rods of approximately 30 cm in length. This diversity enables comparative experiments based on the thermal expansion of different metals.
Q: When is the Linear Expansion Apparatus most suitable for use?
A: This equipment is ideal for physics and engineering labs during thermal conductivity or linear expansion experiments, especially when precise and manual observations of material responses to heat are required.
Q: Where should the apparatus be set up for optimal results?
A: To ensure accuracy, place the apparatus on a stable laboratory bench away from drafts and direct sunlight. Using the foam fitted box or sturdy carton for storage helps maintain its condition between uses.
Q: What is the measurement process for thermal expansion?
A: Begin by recording the original length of the metal rod. Gradually apply heat and note the rod's elongation using the dial gauge, which provides measurements up to 10 mm travel, allowing for detailed analysis of thermal expansion phenomena.
Q: What are the benefits of using this Linear Expansion Apparatus?
A: The apparatus delivers high accuracy, durable performance, and straightforward analog readouts. Its simple manual operation requires no power source, facilitating reliable experiments and efficient data collection for both students and professionals.
