Key Features:

• Compact, bench-top unit
• Based on the classic Marcet boiler experiment
• Stainless steel vessel (boiler) for long life and ease of maintenance
• Proves the Antoine equation for saturated steam
• Vessel (boiler) has viewing window to see the boiling process and the water level
• Simple and safe to use – includes temperature cut-out switches and a pressure relief valve
• Electronic sensors measure boiler temperature and pressure – shown on a digital display in both SI and traditional units (including absolute values)
• Can connect to TecQuipment’s Versatile Data Acquisition System (VDAS®)

Description:

• The TD1006 Marcet Boiler is a simple experiment to show the relationship between pressure and temperature for saturated (wet) steam for comparison with published results. The apparatus consists of a rigid frame containing an insulated pressure vessel (boiler) and an instrumentation and control unit.
• The design includes all possible safety and low maintenance features, specially for educational use. TecQuipment has checked the corrosion-resistant highgrade stainless steel boiler against the latest European safety standards.

Learning Outcomes:

• Variation of saturated steam pressure with temperature
• Confirmation of the Antoine equation
