Thermometers

In thermometers, thermal expansion is used in temperature measurements.


Removing tight lids

To open the cap of a bottle that is tight enough, immerse in it hot water for a minute or so. Metal cap expands and becomes loose. It would now be easy to turn it to open.


Riveting

To join steel plates tightly together, red hot rivets are forced through holes in the plates. The end of hot rivets is then hammered. On cooling, the rivets contract and bring the plates tightly gripped.


Fixing metal tires on wooden wheels

Iron rims are fixed on wooden wheels of carts. Iron rims are heated. Thermal expansion allows them to slip over the wooden wheel. Water is poured on it to cool. The rim contracts and becomes tight over the wheel.

Hey there!  ☺☻☺

Applications of thermal expansion are:

♣ Thermometer 

It is a device which uses linear expansion to measure the temperature of the body. When it comes in the contact with body the mercury rises up by which we can know body temperature.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE - SOLID

♣ Pendulum clock

It also works on principle of thermal expansion. The metal rod used in it expands and its length increases during summers because of sun's heat and in winters, it winters the length decreases and made time of it wrong. It is made up of special type of steel called invar which have negligible expansion.

Hope It Helps You! ☺☻☺
