Using Dilatometry to Measure Heating Effects

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...

The thermal expansion of a material is extremely important when considering its use in a system with fluctuating temperature. Dilatometry is a technique used to measure the area, shape, length, or volume changes of a material as it experiences fluctuations in temperature. Thereby enabling the calculation of thermal expansion. In this video we wi...
