Description
The Linear Expansion Apparatus with Steam and Dial Indicator, also known as a thermal expansion of metals apparatus or steam linear expansion apparatus, is designed for demonstrating and measuring the expansion of metal tubes when heated. The IEC linear expansion apparatus permits steam to be passed through tubes of different metals, allowing students to compare how different materials expand under similar heating conditions. The change in tube length is measured using a precision dial indicator, similar to those used in engineering measurement, with resolution listed as 0.01 mm increments.
The kit is supplied complete with a thermometer to monitor the temperature of the metal tube in both cold and hot conditions, supporting quantitative thermal expansion experiments. Steam can be generated using a boiling flask with a side branch to carry steam into the apparatus. Users should confirm steam source, tubing, connectors and drainage method before experiment setup. This apparatus is suitable for teaching linear expansion, coefficient of expansion, metal comparison, thermal measurement and practical heat experiments in physics laboratories.
Use care when working with steam, boiling water, hot metal tubes and hot glassware. Steam burns can occur quickly and may be severe. Do not block steam outlets, pressurise the system or use cracked glassware, damaged tubing or loose connections. This product is intended for laboratory or educational settings only and should be used under appropriate supervision. This item is supplied as the selected linear expansion apparatus with dial indicator and thermometer only. Boiling flask, steam generator, burner or hotplate, tubing, clamps, retort stand, water, PPE, worksheets and additional heat experiment accessories are not included unless specified separately.
LabChoice Australia supplies Linear Expansion Apparatus and heat transfer teaching equipment for school science laboratories, university teaching laboratories and educational facilities requiring practical demonstrations of thermal expansion in metals.
