Nilvar Low Expansion Alloy wire
Classification : low coefficient of thermal expansion alloy
Application: Invar is used where high dimensional stability is required, such as precision instruments, clocks, seismic creep gauges, television shadow-mask frames, valves in motors, and antimagnetic watches. In land surveying, when first-order (high-precision) elevation leveling is to be performed, the leveling rods used are made of Invar, instead of wood, fiberglass, or other metals. Invar strutDrilling Rig s were used in some pistons to limit their thermal expansion inside their cylinders.
