Linear expansion of metals

Product No: P1042900

Principle

Metal tubes are heated with steam. The linear expansion of three different metals is determined with the aid of a rotating-shaft pointer. From this the metals' coefficient of linear expansion is determined (Supplementary problem). The use of a rolling-shaft pointer is advantageous because the resulting indication of expansion is frictionless. The functional principle of a rotating-shaft pointer can be easily demonstrated in a simple experiment and studied by the students (see Question 4). The students should do this before they calculate the change in length ?l in "Evaluation".
 

Task

Measure the expansion of steel, brass and aluminium while heating them from room temperature to 100 °C.
