Linear Thermal Expansion Calculator

This CalcTown calculator calculates the thermal expansion in a solid, approximating to linear relationship between temperature and length.

Initial Length (L₀)

Initial Temperature (T₀)

°C

Final Temperature (T)

°C

Coefficient of Linear Expansion of the Material (α)

10^-6°C^-1

Final Length

where

α= Coefficient of Linear expansion

L₀ is the length at temperature T₀
