Gas thermometer
Product Code : SCL-MH-12807
The Gas Thermometer by Educational Instrument India is a practical physics laboratory apparatus designed to demonstrate how temperature can be measured by observing changes in the physical properties of a gas. It is ideal for experiments related to gas laws, thermal expansion of gases, temperature measurement, and basic thermodynamics.
This apparatus helps students understand that gases expand, contract, or change pressure when temperature changes. By using the Gas Thermometer, learners can observe the relationship between temperature and gas pressure or volume in a clear and practical way. It is suitable for school laboratories, college physics labs, universities, and science training institutions.
Built with laboratory-grade components, the Gas Thermometer is easy to use under supervision and provides a reliable demonstration of thermal behavior in gases.
