Using Dilatometry to Measure Heating Effects

Description

Dilatometry measures how a material changes in size as temperature changes. It can track changes in length, area, shape, or volume. The method is used to calculate thermal expansion, which is the expansion of a substance when it is heated.

Thermal expansion matters when choosing materials for sys...

Transcript

La dilatation thermique d’un matériau est extrêmement importante lorsque l’on considère son utilisation dans un système à température fluctuante. La dilatométrie est une technique utilisée pour mesurer les changements de surface, de forme, de longueur ou de volume d’un matériau lorsqu’il subit des fluctuations de température. Cela permet ainsi d...
