Bimetallic Strip
Product Code : JA-H-7990
The JaincoLab bimetallic strip (SKU JA-H-7990) demonstrates that different metals expand by different amounts when heated. A 200 x 15 mm strip of brass and steel is riveted together with heat-resistant rivets and mounted in a wooden handle. When it is held in a flame, the brass expands more than the steel and the strip curves visibly. It is a standard heat demonstration in school and college physics, and a starting point for explaining thermostats.
Specifications
The strip measures 200 x 15 mm and is made of brass and steel riveted together with heat-resistant rivets. It is mounted in a wooden handle so that it can be held safely in a flame. These values are taken from the product data.
