Compound Metal Strip
Code: PHHE0081
To show the unequal or differential expansion of two different metals in a bimetallic strips. Comprising two strips, each of different metal but if same size, riveted together end to end and fitted on an insulated handle. On heating, the compound strip bends into curvature with metal having more coefficient of expansion on concave side and other one on convex side. Returns back to its original shape on cooling. The thickness of the two metal strips selectable carefully so as to obtain sufficient curving on applying little heat. Comprising a length of bimetal strip 150 × 20mm mounted in a wooden handle. The strip is only 1.5mm thick so that very little heat is required to produce considerable bending. Length overall 270mm approx. 1060260/1 Brass and Invar; 1.5mm thick with strip size 150×20 length × width) 1060260/2 Copper and Iron; size about 200×25mm (length × width) 1060260/3 Brass and Steel; size about 200×25mm (length × width) 1060260/4 Brass and Iron; size about 300×30mm (length × width), with new improved design

Thermostat Model
Code: PHHE0089
Demonstrates how the bending due to differential expansion of two different metal strips can be used for operating the thermostat for temperature control.

Consists of binding posts for connection to low current circuits and adjustable contacts. Mounted on base.

Thermal Conductivity Bars
Code: PHHE0117
Ideal for comparison of thermal conductivity of different metals quickly and conveniently. Unique, new conductivity bar set features convenient liquid crystal indicators mounted in robust holders. Comprises four identical metal bars of same shape and size, each of different metal – copper, aluminium, brass and steel, held firmly parallel to one another in a rigid moulded carrier with a hole for convenient suspension. Conductivity value of each bar is clearly marked on the back of the support. The sensitive liquid crystal temperature indicators working in low temperature range, are attached to the front of all the four metal bars. The temperature indicators are marked at 1cm interval to facilitate charting the movement of temperature gradients. The rate of heat flow is indicated by timing the colour change across these markers. The demonstration requires only a beaker or container of hot water, thus doing away with open flames, hotplates, or messy "melting wax" method of comparison. Within seconds of placing the ends of the bars in hot water, a visible "heat pulse" travels to the copper bar; the steel bar takes several minutes to conduct the heat to its upper end. Timing the "heat pulses" enables estimation of the relative conductivities and their comparison with the stated theoretical values. Also demonstrates the conduction of heat from a heated bar to its end, if cooled.
Radiation Absorption Discs
Code: PHHE0121
The four aluminum discs with tough anodized surfaces of mirror silver, mirror black, matt silver and matt black have dramatically different properties. Each disc as a 30-60 degree liquid crystal thermometer bonded to them, showing clearly how surface color and texture affects the absorption and reflection of radiant heat. These discs are perfect for rapid are repeatable results for experiment with infrared absorption.
