Please Note

For most materials, these properties can vary widely with such parameters as temperature, humidity (in nonmetallics), material formulation, processing, life history, test method. grain direction. etc. Therefore, the materials properties given here should be considered, at best, nominal values. When data of greater accuracy and reliability are required, these should be obtained from the supplier of the material, or by performing appropriate tests on specimens from the same lot of material on which strain measurements are to be made. Note in particular that thermal expansion is not generally linear with temperature; and therefore each tabular value of is an average over some temperature range. The temperature ranges, which include room temperature in every case, vary with the source from which the data were obtained.
