3 Term and definition

For the purposes of this standard, the following term and definition apply.

4 Principle

In this method, a linear thermal expansion coefficient tester for push-rod differential method is used to uniformly heat the specimen, control the rising rate of the specimen temperature, measure the specimen temperature and its corresponding length variation, and calculate the mean coefficient of linear thermal expansion within the required temperature range.
