Linear Thermal Expansion Coefficient Final Length Formula |
||
| \( l_f = \overrightarrow{\alpha_l} \; l_i \; \left( T_f \;- \; T_i \right) + l_i \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( l_f \) = Final Length | \(ft\) | \(m\) |
| \( l_i \) = Initial Length | \(ft\) | \(m\) |
| \( \overrightarrow{\alpha_l} \) (Greek symbol alpha) = Linear Thermal Expansion Coefficient | \(in\;/\;in\;F\) | \(mm\;/\;mm\;C\) |
| \( T_f \) = Final Temperature | \(F\) | \(C\) |
| \( T_i \) = Initial Temperature | \(F\) | \(C\) |
