Frequently Asked Questions

Are length/length/kelvin [1/K] and length/length/degree Celsius interchangeable?
They are numerically equal when representing thermal expansion coefficients for temperature differences, but are not interchangeable for absolute temperature values.

Can I use this conversion for measuring absolute temperature?
No, this conversion applies only to thermal expansion coefficients, not to absolute temperature measurements.

Why convert thermal expansion coefficients between these units?
Because length/length/degree Celsius units are commonly used on datasheets and in engineering calculations, this conversion helps integrate thermal expansion data smoothly.

Key Terminology

Thermal Expansion Coefficient
