Description: WEBFor example, the coefficient of thermal expansion of water drops to zero as it is cooled to 3.983 °C and then becomes negative below this temperature; this means that water has a maximum density at this temperature, and this leads to bodies of water maintaining this temperature at their lower depths during extended periods of sub-zero weather.

Description: WEBJul 29, 2018 · THE COEFFICIENT OF LINEAR thermal expansion (CTE, a, or a1) is a material property that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands upon heating. Different substances expand by different amounts. Over small temperature ranges, the thermal expansion of uniform linear objects is proportional to temperature change.

Description: WEBThermal expansion coefficients for some common materials: 10-6 m/moC = 1 μm/moC. m/m = meter per meter, in/in = inches per inches. Most values for temperature 25 oC (77 oF). The span in the values may be caused by the variation in the materials themselves - or by the variation in the sources used. tK = tC + 273.16. tR = tF + 459.67.
