RE: Thermal expansion for Stainless & Carbon
Temperature E1 E2 E3
200 C 3.4 2.41 2.24
300 C 5.19 3.80 3.56
400 C 7.12 5.34 4.88
500 C 9.16 7.00 6.36
600 C 11.23 8.67 7.81
Where :
E1 : Expansion in mm\m for 18/8 Stainless steel.
E2 : Expansion in mm\m for Low Cr.Mo.( up to 3% Cr)Carbon steel.
E3 : Expansion in mm\m for Intermediate Cr.Mo.(5%-9%)Carbon steel.
You can interpolate to find a mathematical formula
I hope the above is helpful,
