Description
The Compound Bar, 2-Metal Riveted, with Wooden Handle, also known as a bimetallic strip demonstration bar, is designed for showing how different metals expand at different rates when heated. The apparatus consists of a laminated bar made from brass and iron fastened together and mounted in a wooden handle. When the metal strip is placed over a flame, the unequal thermal expansion of the two metals causes the bar to bend. This makes the product useful for demonstrating thermal expansion, comparative expansion of metals, bending of bimetallic strips and the principle behind temperature-sensitive bimetallic devices.
The blade size is listed as 3.5 × 20 cm, while the product title references 350 × 20 mm. Users should confirm the final required size before ordering where exact dimensions are important. This product is suitable for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories and educational facilities requiring a simple practical tool for heat and expansion demonstrations. Users should confirm the heat source, flame position, heating time, demonstration distance, ventilation and risk assessment before use. The metal strip may become very hot during and after heating. Do not touch heated metal directly, and allow the apparatus to cool before storage or handling by students.
Use suitable eye protection, heat protection and approved laboratory procedures when working with flame, hot metal and heated equipment. This product is intended for laboratory or educational settings only and should be used under appropriate supervision. This item is supplied as the compound bar with wooden handle only. Heat source, burner, matches, lighter, heatproof mat, stand, clamps, PPE and additional heat transfer accessories are not included unless specified separately.
LabChoice Australia supplies Compound Bars and heat transfer demonstration equipment for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories and educational facilities requiring practical tools for thermal expansion experiments.
