pansion for a certain temperature rise
tubes are heated to 100° C by means of steam and
the temperature difference
is calculated. The expansion is determined from the
movement of the pointer, where a pointer movement
of 50 mm indicates an expansion of 1 mm. The
expan-sion coefficient is determined from the length
of the tube
l between the two fixed points by means
∆
of the formula:

4. Instructions for use
Attach the fixed mount at marking 200, 400 or 600.
Attach the open end of the tube to be tested into

Technical amendments are possible
the fixed mount and secure it with the screw. The
screw should grip the ring nut of the tube.
Hoses should be attached as in Figure 1 and the
run-off bowl should be placed under the hose.
Adjust the point to zero if necessary.
Also required for heating the tube under test:
Vapor generator or a bunsen burner heating an Erlen-
meyer flask
The glass tube should be secured beneath the base strip to
avoid damage.
