012-07114D Thermal Expansion Apparatus Experiment: Measuring the Coefficient of Linear Expansion for Copper, Brass, and Aluminum Introduction Most materials expand when heated through a temperature range that does not produce a change in phase. The added heat increases the average amplitude of vibration of the atoms in the material, which increases the average separation between the atoms. -
