Heat Conduction ApparatusEntry/Object ID
2013.3.39Description
The rods are of different substances, metal and otherwise, and of the same length. If marbles of the same weight are attached by wax to the ends of the rods and the vessel filled with boiling water, the marbles will fall at different times depending on the heat conductivity of the different rods. This is sometimes referred to as a conductometer. Frequently the trough for the hot water is supported in a horizontal position rather than at an angle as in this instrument.Collection
