Bar and Gauge Thermal Expansion Apparatus
Model Number: MT-1085
The Bar and Gauge Thermal Expansion Apparatus from Micro Technologies is a compact laboratory apparatus designed to demonstrate the linear expansion of a metal bar when heated. The MT-1085 includes a metal bar and matching gauge arrangement with convenient insulated handles, allowing dimensional changes caused by heating and cooling to be observed through a simple thermal expansion experiment.
Product Specification
The Bar and Gauge Thermal Expansion Apparatus from Micro Technologies is designed for experiments involving the thermal expansion and contraction of solid metals. It provides a simple method for demonstrating how the dimensions of a metal bar change when its temperature increases or decreases.
The MT-1085 consists of a metal bar and corresponding gauge arrangement. The bar serves as the test specimen, while the gauge provides a reference for comparing its dimensions under different temperature conditions.
During a suitable experiment, the metal bar is initially checked against the gauge at normal temperature. The bar is then heated using an appropriate external laboratory heat source. As the temperature of the metal increases, the bar undergoes thermal expansion, resulting in a small increase in its dimensions.
The change can then be demonstrated by comparing the heated bar with the gauge. After cooling, the metal contracts toward its original dimensions, allowing the effect of temperature on solid materials to be observed using the same apparatus.
Both components feature convenient handles, helping the apparatus to be positioned and manipulated during the experimental procedure. This configuration is particularly useful when the metal specimen has been heated and direct contact should be avoided.
The MT-1085 provides a compact alternative for demonstrating the fundamental principle of linear thermal expansion of solids. Its simple construction makes it easy to incorporate into heat and thermodynamics laboratory experiments.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Bar and Gauge Thermal Expansion Apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, thermal laboratories, heat and thermodynamics laboratories, research facilities, testing laboratories, and other facilities conducting thermal expansion experiments.
