About This Product
A bimetallic strip shows that different metals expand by different amounts when heated. Because the two metals are bonded together, the strip cannot expand evenly and bends towards the side that expands less. This effect is used in thermostats, fire alarms and flasher units, so the strip links classroom practical work to everyday devices. Pupils heat the bar gently, note the direction of the curve and discuss why it bends. Schools, colleges and distributors in Moldova, Argentina, Solomon Islands, Madagascar and Qatar can source the Compound Bars (Bimetallic Strip) Bonded 150 x 12.5mm Plain from School Lab Equipment India.
