Linear Expansion Apparatus

Product Code : ILS-H-10926

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Linear Expansion Apparatus (Product ID: 10926) as part of its heat and thermal physics range. This apparatus measures how much a metal rod lengthens when steam heats it.

Quick Answer

The rod sits inside a steam jacket with three tubes: steam in, steam and condensate out, and a port for a thermometer. An indicator at one end registers the expansion as soon as the rod warms. From the change in length ΔL, the original length L and the temperature rise ΔT, students find the coefficient of linear expansion, α = ΔL/(LΔT). The steam source is not provided. Steam and the jacket cause burns, so let the unit cool before removing the rod. Please confirm the rod material and indicator type at quotation.
