Thermal Expansion Calculator
Linear and volumetric thermal expansion of a material for a temperature change.
How to use the Thermal Expansion Calculator
- Enter or select: Original length, Material (α, 10⁻⁶/K), Temperature change ΔT.
- The results (Length change, New length, Volume change ratio) are calculated instantly as you type.
- Use “Copy link” to share the calculation with the same input values.
Formula
- ΔL = α·L₀·ΔT
- ΔV ≈ 3α·V₀·ΔT
