Frequently Asked Questions
- What does length/length/kelvin [1/K] measure?
- It measures the fractional change in length or volume per kelvin of temperature change, representing thermal expansion coefficients.
- Why convert from 1/K to per degree Fahrenheit?
- Conversion is necessary when thermal expansion coefficients must align with temperature scales used in countries employing Fahrenheit units.
- Is the thermal expansion conversion always accurate?
- It assumes linear thermal expansion, so for materials with nonlinear behavior or phase changes, the accuracy may be affected.
