Linear and Volumetric Thermal Expansion Coefficient Relationship Formula

\( \overrightarrow{\alpha_l} \;=\; \dfrac{ \alpha_v }{  3 }\)     (Linear and Volumetric Thermal Expansion Coefficient Relationship)

\( \alpha_v \;=\;  \overrightarrow{\alpha_l} \cdot 3 \)

Symbol English Metric
\( \overrightarrow{\alpha_l} \)   (Greek symbol alpha) = linear thermal expansion coefficient \(in \;/\; in\;F\)  \(mm \;/\; mm\;C\)
\( \alpha_v \)  (Greek symbol alpha) = volumetric thermal expansion coefficient \(in^3 \;/\; in^3\;F\) \(mm^3 \;/\; mm^3\;C\)
