Thermal Expansion of Pipe

Thermalexpansion

A = mean coefficient of thermal expansion x 10 6, in/in/°F in going from 70°F (21°C) to indicated temperature.
Multiply values of A shown by 1.8 to obtain coefficient of expansions in cm/cm/°C.

B = linear thermal expansion, in/100 ft going from 70°F (21°C) to indicated temperature.
Multiply values of B shown by 8.33 to obtain linear expansion in cm per 100 m.
