Ball and Ring Thermal Expansion Apparatus with Stand
Model Number: MT-1084
The Ball and Ring Thermal Expansion Apparatus with Stand from Micro Technologies is designed to demonstrate the expansion and contraction of solid metals due to temperature changes. The MT-1084 features a metal ball and ring arrangement supported on a stable laboratory stand, providing convenient positioning during heating and cooling experiments. The stand-mounted design makes the apparatus suitable for repeated thermal expansion studies and laboratory demonstrations.
Product Specification
The Ball and Ring Thermal Expansion Apparatus with Stand from Micro Technologies is a laboratory apparatus designed for experiments involving the effect of temperature on the dimensions of solid metals. It provides a clear and practical method for demonstrating thermal expansion during heating and contraction during cooling.
The MT-1084 consists of a metal ball and matching ring assembly mounted with a supporting stand. The stand provides a stable experimental arrangement and keeps the components conveniently positioned during observations and heating procedures.
Before heating, the metal ball can be compared with the opening of the ring. When the ball is heated using a suitable external heat source, its dimensions increase slightly due to thermal expansion. This change can be observed by testing the ball against the ring opening.
As the heated metal ball cools, it undergoes thermal contraction, gradually returning toward its original dimensions. The same apparatus therefore provides a convenient way to observe both expansion and contraction caused by temperature variation.
The ball is suspended using a chain arrangement, while the ring and associated components are supported by the stand. This configuration provides convenient handling and keeps the experimental components organized during laboratory procedures.
The stable base and vertical support make the MT-1084 particularly convenient for bench-top experiments. Compared with a hand-held configuration, the stand-mounted arrangement provides consistent positioning and allows the apparatus to remain supported throughout the experiment.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Ball and Ring Thermal Expansion Apparatus with Stand is suitable for physics laboratories, heat and thermodynamics laboratories, thermal laboratories, research facilities, testing laboratories, and other laboratory environments requiring experiments involving the thermal expansion of solids.

FAQs
What is the MT-1084 Ball and Ring Apparatus with Stand used for?
The MT-1084 is used to demonstrate the thermal expansion of a solid metal when heated and its contraction when cooled.
What is the model number of this apparatus?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-1084.
Does the MT-1084 include a stand?
Yes. The apparatus is supplied with a supporting stand and stable bench-top base for convenient positioning during experiments.
What happens to the ball when it is heated?
Heating causes the metal ball to expand slightly, increasing its dimensions and demonstrating the thermal expansion of solids.
What happens when the metal ball cools?
When cooled, the metal contracts toward its original dimensions, allowing thermal contraction to be observed.
What is the difference between MT-1083 and MT-1084?
The MT-1083 is a compact hand-held Ball and Ring Thermal Expansion Apparatus, while the MT-1084 includes a laboratory stand and supporting arrangement for a stable bench-top experimental setup.
