This thermal expansion calculator can be used for the calculation of the linear thermal expansion of any material for a specific initial length and variation in temperature.

Online linear temperature expansion calculator. When an object is heated or cooled, its length changes by an amount proportional to the original length and the change in temperature.

Our thermal expansion calculator uses a simple formula to find the thermal expansion of any object. The equations for linear and volumetric expansion are very similar.
