Marcet Boiler
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9982
The Marcet Boiler (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9982) is used to measure the vapour pressure curve of saturated steam, that is, how the boiling temperature of water rises with pressure. A 2 litre stainless steel boiler with an insulating jacket is heated by a 2 kW heater while pressure and temperature are read together. JaincoLab supplies this Marcet boiler to mechanical engineering colleges and polytechnics for thermodynamics practicals.
Specifications
The boiler holds 2 litres, is made of stainless steel and has an insulating jacket; it is heated by a 2 kW heater, with a Bourdon tube gauge from -1 to 24 bar, a digital temperature display, a 200 °C temperature limiter and a 20 bar safety valve.

Applications of the Marcet boiler
The Marcet boiler lets students record pairs of saturation pressure and temperature as the water is heated and compare them with steam tables, which is a standard experiment on the properties of steam in thermodynamics and thermal engineering courses.
- Measuring the vapour pressure curve of saturated steam
- Comparing measured saturation temperatures with steam table values
- Studying the pressure-temperature relationship of a pure substance
- Thermodynamics practicals in B.E./B.Tech and diploma mechanical engineering courses
