Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer. The degree of expansion divided by the change in temperature is called the material's coefficient of thermal expansion and generally varies with temperature.
This thermal expansion calculator can be used for the calculation of the linear thermal expansion of any material for a specific initial length and variation in temperature. Instructions: * N.B. The thermal expansion coefficients employed are highly dependent on initial temperatures and may undergo significant change.
