Figure P19.62 shows a simple means for measuring despite the expansion of the container. With this apparatus, one arm of a U-tube is maintained at 0C in a water-ice bath, and the other arm is maintained at a different temperature Tc in a constant-temperature bath. The connecting tube is horizontal. A difference in the length or diameter of the tube between the two arms of the U-tube has no effect on the pressure balance at the bottom of the tube because the pressure depends only on the depth of the liquid.

- Each year thousands of children are badly burned by hot tap water. The figure below shows a cross-sectional view of an antiscalding faucet attachment designed to prevent such accidents. Within the device, a spring made of material with a high coefficient of thermal expansion controls a movable plunger. When the water temperature rises above a preset safe value, the expansion of the spring causes the plunger to shut off the water flow.
