Linear Expansion Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JL-LE-10613
The Linear Expansion Apparatus (SKU JL-LE-10613, Cat. No. JSS-119/068) measures how much a metal rod lengthens when it is heated by steam. A 50 cm rod, 4.5 mm in diameter, is held inside a metal tube that acts as a steam jacket, supported at each end by detachable rubber bungs. The tube has tubules for the steam inlet, the steam outlet and a thermometer, and a gauge reads the expansion. Three rods are included.
