Searle's Apparatus for Thermal Conductivity of Copper

The Searle's Apparatus for Thermal Conductivity of Copper is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed for accurately determining the thermal conductivity of copper using the steady-state heat flow method. Manufactured by Micro Technologies, the apparatus is extensively used in physics laboratories, engineering colleges, universities, polytechnic institutes, and scientific research laboratories.

The apparatus consists of a high-quality copper bar measuring approximately 25 mm in diameter and 300 mm in length. One end of the bar is enclosed within a steam jacket that provides uniform heating using steam supplied from a steam boiler. The opposite end is fitted with a copper water-cooling spiral, allowing continuous circulation of cooling water to establish a steady temperature gradient along the bar.

The copper bar is provided with accurately machined ports for thermometers and water connections, enabling precise temperature measurements at different positions during the experiment. This arrangement helps students study heat conduction and calculate the thermal conductivity of copper with excellent accuracy.

The complete apparatus is housed inside a premium-quality polished wooden case that provides mechanical protection and ensures stable operation during laboratory use. The interior is packed with thermal insulation felt, which minimizes heat loss and improves the accuracy and repeatability of experimental results. The insulated construction is removable from the front, allowing easy access for maintenance and demonstration.

Manufactured using laboratory-grade materials, the apparatus offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and long operational life. It is suitable for continuous educational use and serves as an excellent teaching aid for heat transfer and thermodynamics experiments.

The apparatus is supplied without a steam boiler and thermometers, allowing laboratories to choose suitable accessories according to their experimental requirements.

Every Searle's Apparatus for Thermal Conductivity of Copper manufactured by Micro Technologies undergoes stringent quality inspection to ensure dependable performance, accurate measurements, and long service life.
