A physical property value representing the change in length per unit length, the change in area per unit area, or the change in volume per unit volume per 1 degree increase in temperature.

Average material expansion per one degree change in temperature, expressed as a fraction of the initial dimension. Cold Flexibility: O-Ring flexibility (resistance to cracking and breaking) at low temperatures. Cold Resistant: The ability of an o-ring to function at low temperatures. Compound: A mixture of an elastomer and other ingredients to prod [..]

The constant value or factor of expansion of a material for a given increase in temperature, divided by the length of the material. This is different for each material.

change in length per unit length of a material for a 1°C change in temperature. This coefficient is important in that tooth structure and restorative materials expand when warmed by hot foods or liquids and contract with cold. Such expansion and contraction may result in the breaking of the bond between the tooth and restoration, resulting in leaka [..]

The linear expansion or contraction per unit length per degree temperatures between specified lower and upper temperatures.

A measure of the rate of change of the material's size due to a change in temperature.

The ratio of dimensional change of an object to the original dimension when temperature changes, expressed in %/oC or ppm/oC.

The fractional change in length (or sometimes in volume, when specified) of a material for a unit change in temperature.
