Precision linear expansion apparatus
The precision linear expansion apparatus is provided with two metal hollow rods of different materials that are heated by the steam passing through them. The linear expansion of the different metals is measured using a dial gauge, while temperature is measured using a thermometer placed in contact with the rod.
In this way students can obtained all the information necessary to calculate the coefficient of linear thermal expansion.
The proposed experiments can be carried out using the temperature sensor (not supplied) Cod. 12903-00 with the appropriate support Cod. 4296
