Linear expansion apparatus, Nairobi Industrial Area

A linear expansion apparatus is a laboratory device specifically designed to measure the thermal expansion of solid materials in response to temperature changes. It typically consists of a fixed base, a graduated measuring scale, and a sample holder for securely mounting the material being tested. The apparatus includes a thermal source, such as a Bunsen burner or hot water bath, which provides controlled heating to the sample. As the temperature increases, the material expands linearly, and the apparatus allows for precise measurements of the change in length.
