Product Specification Sheet
Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-3
Model Number: MT-1088
The Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-3 from Micro Technologies is a laboratory apparatus designed for studying the linear thermal expansion of metal rods due to temperature changes. The MT-1091 features an elongated horizontal frame with a test-rod arrangement, supporting components, and an expansion measurement mechanism. It is suitable for experiments involving linear expansion, thermal contraction, and the coefficient of linear expansion of compatible metallic specimens.
Product Specification
The Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-3 from Micro Technologies is designed for laboratory investigations involving the dimensional response of solid metallic materials to changes in temperature. It provides a practical arrangement for observing how the length of a metal specimen changes when it is heated and subsequently cooled.
The MT-1091 features an elongated horizontal frame and metal rod arrangement designed to maintain the experimental specimen in an aligned position. This configuration provides a stable platform for conducting thermal expansion experiments and observing small changes in the length of the specimen.
An expansion measurement arrangement is incorporated at the end of the apparatus to detect dimensional movement of the test rod. As the temperature of the specimen increases, thermal expansion produces a small increase in its length, which can be observed through the measuring mechanism.
During cooling, the metal specimen contracts toward its original dimensions. This allows both linear expansion and thermal contraction to be investigated using the same apparatus.
When combined with an appropriate heating method and temperature-measuring instrument, the MT-1091 can be used for experiments involving the coefficient of linear expansion. The relationship between the original length of the specimen, temperature change, and resulting dimensional change can be investigated under controlled laboratory conditions.
The rigid supporting arrangement helps maintain alignment throughout the experiment, while its elongated bench-top configuration provides convenient access to the test specimen and associated components.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-3 is suitable for physics laboratories, thermal laboratories, heat and thermodynamics laboratories, engineering laboratories, research facilities, and testing laboratories.

FAQs
What is the MT-1091 Linear Expansion Apparatus Type-3 used for?
The MT-1091 is used for studying the change in length of a metal rod when its temperature changes and for suitable coefficient of linear expansion experiments.
What is the model number of this Linear Expansion Apparatus?
The Micro Technologies model number is MT-1091.
Can the MT-1091 be used to determine the coefficient of linear expansion?
Yes. When used with suitable heating and temperature-measuring arrangements, it can support experiments for determining the coefficient of linear expansion of compatible metallic specimens.
What happens to the metal rod during heating?
The metal rod expands along its length as its temperature increases. The amount of expansion depends on the material, original length, and temperature change.
Can thermal contraction also be studied?
Yes. As the heated rod cools, it contracts toward its original dimensions, allowing both expansion and contraction to be investigated.
What is the difference between Type-1, Type-2 and Type-3?
MT-1089, MT-1090, and MT-1091 are different construction variants of the Linear Expansion Apparatus. The MT-1091 Type-3 uses an elongated horizontal frame and its own test-rod and measurement configuration.
