Coefficient of Linear Expansion
Product Code : JL-LEP-10207
The Coefficient of Linear Expansion apparatus from Jaincolab is used to verify the coefficient of linear expansion of metals through a controlled steam-heating and precision-measurement setup. As a school laboratory equipment manufacturer and laboratory equipment supplier in India, Jaincolab builds this apparatus around a brass steam jacket pipe with a steam inlet and outlet, supported on a rigid metal base with an alignment and locking mechanism for the expanding rod under study — a dependable piece of educational lab equipment for physics laboratories.
A rubber stopper fitted into the attachment tube holds a thermometer for temperature readings, while a dial gauge with 0.01 mm readability precisely measures the small length changes produced as the test rod expands.
