Pair of Bar and Gauge Apparatus for Thermal Expansion | Kenya Lab Supply
KSh1,200
Features
- High-Grade Metal Alloys: The bar and gauge are manufactured from high-quality metals with reliable coefficients of thermal expansion to guarantee distinct, visible results.
- Insulated Safety Handle: The metal bar features a secure, heat-resistant wooden or plastic handle to protect students from accidental burns during heating.
- Precise Engineering: Machined to tight tolerances, ensuring the bar fits snugly into both the length gauge and the end-aperture hole when cool.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand repeated heating and cooling cycles without warping, losing calibration, or degrading structurally.
- Dual-Axis Demonstration: Designed to simultaneously prove both linear expansion (lengthwise) and superficial expansion.

Bar and Gauge Apparatus for Thermal Expansion Experiments
Demonstrate the foundational laws of thermodynamics with our durable Pair of Bar and Gauge Apparatus. This classic physics instrument is engineered explicitly for educational institutions across Kenya to help students observe and analyze the volumetric expansion of solids when subjected to temperature changes.
The kit consists of a precision-machined metal bar and a matching metal gauge. At room temperature, the bar fits perfectly into the gauge’s slots and holes. Once heated over a Bunsen burner, the bar expands and no longer fits, providing a clear, undeniable visual proof of thermal expansion. It is an indispensable tool for secondary schools, universities, and technical colleges preparing for the KCSE physics practical examinations and CBC science projects.
