It is suitable for investigating thermal expansion and the coefficient of linear expansion of compatible metallic specimens.
Product Specification
The Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-1 from Micro Technologies is a laboratory apparatus designed for studying changes in the length of solid materials when subjected to temperature variation. It provides a practical setup for experiments involving linear thermal expansion and the thermal behavior of metallic rods.
The MT-1089 incorporates a horizontal test-rod arrangement supported on a rigid laboratory frame. The test specimen is positioned between the supporting sections so that changes in its length can be observed when the rod is heated.
A graduated indicating arrangement is provided at one end of the apparatus for observing the small dimensional movement produced during thermal expansion. This enables the change in length of the test specimen to be related to the applied temperature change.
During a typical experiment, a compatible metal rod is heated while its dimensional response is monitored. As its temperature increases, the rod expands along its length. After cooling, the rod contracts toward its original dimensions, allowing both heating and cooling behavior to be investigated.
The apparatus can also be incorporated into experiments for determining or comparing the coefficient of linear expansion of compatible metallic specimens when used with suitable temperature measurement and heating arrangements.
The stable frame helps maintain the alignment of the test specimen and measuring arrangement throughout the experiment. Its bench-top configuration makes the MT-1089 convenient for repeated heat, thermodynamics, and material-property investigations.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-1 is suitable for physics laboratories, thermal laboratories, heat and thermodynamics laboratories, engineering laboratories, research facilities, and testing applications.
