Abstract

PURPOSE:To make easily and economically the measurement to determine the coefft. of cubical expansion of a hydrogen occluding alloy in the stage of releasing hydrogen and in the stage of occluding hydrogen by incorporating an inert gas into a system including hydrogen and the hydrogen occluding alloy and measuring the fluctuation of the internal pressure of the inert gas. CONSTITUTION:The volume of respective piping parts A-C is first measured while the hydrogen occluding alloy 2 is not packed into a thermostatic chamber 1. The alloy 2 is then packed into a container 3 and the inert gas is introduced into the piping parts A, C from an inert gas cylinder 12 and the pressure change of the parts A, C is measured, by which the volume of the part A is determined. The gas in the system is then discharged by a vacuum pump 7 and thereafter the hydrogen is introduced into the parts A, B from a gaseous hydrogen cylinder 11 so that the hydrogen is occluded into the alloy 2. The inert gas is thereafter discharged from the part C to the part A and the pressures in the parts A, C are measured. The volume of the part A in the stage of occluding the hydrogen is measured. The coefft. of cubical expansion of the alloy is calculated from the results of the above-mentioned measurement.
