Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

A calculator for

Expansion Coefficient

From strain measurements.

Independent Variables
Indicated Strains, Specimen (microstrain),  
Indicated Strains, Reference(microstrain),  
Change in Temperature (degrees),  
Expansion Coefficient, Reference* (ppm/degree),  

Dependent Variable
Expansion Coefficient, Specimen (ppm/degree),  



Notes
* Parts per million per degree of change in temperature.
Temperature scale (F, C) of coefficient must be consistent with that for the change in temperature.
