Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-2
Model Number: MT-1087
The Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-2 from Micro Technologies is a bench-top thermal apparatus designed for studying the linear expansion of metal rods when subjected to temperature changes. The MT-1090 features a rigid horizontal frame, multiple rod arrangement, and a sensitive pointer with graduated scale for observing dimensional changes. It is suitable for thermal expansion, comparative metal expansion, and coefficient of linear expansion experiments.
Product Specification
The Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-2 from Micro Technologies is designed for laboratory investigations involving the dimensional changes that occur in solid metallic materials as their temperature changes. The apparatus provides a convenient setup for observing and comparing the linear thermal expansion of compatible metal rods.
The MT-1090 incorporates a rigid horizontal frame designed to support the test specimens in an aligned position throughout the experiment. The arrangement provides stable mounting while allowing the thermal response of the rods to be transferred to the measuring mechanism.
A pointer and graduated scale arrangement is provided at one end of the apparatus. Small dimensional changes produced by expansion of the test specimen can therefore be translated into visible pointer movement, making the thermal response easier to observe.
The apparatus features a multiple-rod configuration, providing a convenient arrangement for comparative thermal expansion studies using compatible metallic specimens. Different metals can exhibit different amounts of expansion under similar temperature changes because their coefficients of linear expansion are different.
During an experiment, the selected rod is heated using a suitable heating arrangement. As its temperature rises, the specimen increases slightly in length. This movement is observed through the indicating mechanism. On cooling, the rod contracts toward its original length.
When used with suitable temperature measurement and heating equipment, the MT-1090 can support experiments involving the coefficient of linear expansion, comparative expansion of metals, and the relationship between temperature change and dimensional variation.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-2 is suitable for physics laboratories, heat and thermodynamics laboratories, thermal laboratories, engineering laboratories, research facilities, and testing applications involving the thermal properties of solid materials.
