Expansion of 310 Stainless Steel
Expansion of 310 Stainless Steel
(OP)
We are working with a 310 stainless steel damper in a chamber that can operate at 2000 deg. F. What is the formulas for calculating the expansion rate of plate and solid pipe in this atmosphere.

RE: Expansion of 310 Stainless Steel
You can calculate the thermal deformation using the following equation:
Deformation due to temp change =
coefficient of expansion*length*(Final temp - Initial temp)
(coeff.for 310 s.s. = 8.0*10^6 in/in/F)
**CAUTION**
You may want to reconsider using this steel in the environment you described, it sounds like your at the limit.
1900F = max intermittant temperature of exposure
2100F = max continuous temperature of exposure
Hope this helps.

For Type 310 stainless Steel, the coefficient of thermal expansion is 15.8 µm/m-°C (8.78 µin/in-°F) at ambient conditions, but increases to 19.1 µm/m-°C (10.6 µin/in-°F) at 1000 °C (1830 °F).

It has a great searchable database for material properties.
