Use: Open plastic clips. Push the plunger to the bottom. Attach metal cylinder to device. Put cylinder on hot plate. Temperature increase will result in volume increasing. Pressure remains constant at atmospheric plus pressure due to weight of plunger.

 
Setup: Some assembly required. Keep plastic tube away from hot plate elements.
Equations: PV = NkT
Safety Issues: Near red hot burner
