A. Background
In daily life, we often look the expansion process. Like the railway of train can expand when the
temperature of railway increase because of sunlight. So, in each connection was found gaps.
Beside that, when the dry season is come, if we want to close or open the window and the door
will heavier than usual. All of that was happen because the expansion process like linear
expansion, area expansion, or volume expansion. The expansion process can be observe and
calculate through musschenbroek.

B. Purposes
1) Observe the process of expansion in metal object ( brass, aluminum, iron)
2) Observed indications of length added to the process of expansion

we can observe the changes in indicators musschenbroek tool. Demonstrated through a needle
in the tool. From the results of experiments on all three metals, indicating the occurrence of
changes in the needle. Aluminum has indikaror at an angle of 8o , while the brass at an angle of 5o
and iron on the position of 3o. The position of the needle indicator that shows the length changes
observed in the metal. It all depends on the type of metal was observed
