A KINEMATIC DILATOMETER.
Abstract
An inexpensive dilatometer with kinematically-suspended carriages id described. The instrument design features a large carriage baselength for stability and capability of measuring horizontal lengths of specimens as short as 4.5 inches. The design is adapted to high temperature workroom use by radiation shields which minimize the effects of thermal distortion. Dust shields and a design incorporating slanting carriage ways minimize grit buildup. The instrument may be easily constructed by a relatively unskilled machinist, as no close tolerances need be held to insure smooth, accurate operation. A procedure for aligning the dilatometer without the use of other instruments is also given. (Author)
