Thermal Expansion Converter
Convert thermal expansion coefficients between units like 1/K (per kelvin), 1/°C (per degree Celsius), and microstrain per degree. This tool is ideal for engineers, material scientists, and architects who need to account for dimensional changes in solids due to temperature fluctuations.
Convert Thermal Expansion Coefficients Between Units
Thermal expansion measures how much a material’s size changes with temperature. The coefficient of linear expansion is most commonly used and is critical in:
- Structural engineering and bridge design
- Manufacturing and machining of precision components
- Thermal stress analysis
- Material science and research
Supported units:
- 1/K (per kelvin) – SI unit
- 1/°C (per degree Celsius) – equivalent to 1/K
- Microstrain per degree (με/°C) – used for precise applications
- Inch/inch/°F, mm/mm/°C – used in civil/mechanical engineering
This converter provides accurate translations across measurement systems, enabling reliable design, testing, and simulation under thermal stress conditions.
