Details

This apparatus is designed for use in introducing aspects of the thermal expansion and cooling contraction of metals. The gauge has three features: a horizontal slot of length slightly greater than that of the metal rod, a circular hole with diameter slightly greater than that of the rod and a notch with width slightly less than the diameter of the rod. The first two features can be used to demonstrate that the dimensions of the rod, when it is heated, can exceed the dimensions of the (unheated) slot and circular hole. The third feature can be used to demonstrate that the notch, when the surrounding metal is heated, can be made to accommodate the diameter of the unheated rod.

A high temperature is required for sufficient expansion of the rod and/or the gauge (i.e. Bunsen burner. This apparatus should be used with a heat proof holder for the gauge and a heat proof surface to receive the heated components after use.

Bar measures 4" wide and 9.5" tall including handle. Gauge measures 4.5" tall, and 5.75" wide.

  • The apparatus consists of a metal rod mounted on a holder and a brass gauge.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
