Tables 2-135 Linear Expansion of the Solid Elements

C is the true expansion coefficient at the given temperature M is the mean coefficient between given temperatures where one temperature is given, the true coefficient at that temperature is indicated a and [3 are coefficients in formula k = k(l + at + p 2) k is length at 0 °C (unless otherwise indicated, when, if x is the reference temperature, lt = lx[l + a(t - tx) + [3( - tx)2, is length at t °C).
