Linear Thermal Expansion Testing
Linear thermal expansion analysis determines material expansion rates.
Linear Thermal Expansion (LTE) testing helps determine if thermal stress failures can occur in products and materials. Intertek laboratories provide LTE analysis by Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) and by Dilatometer.
Linear Thermal Expansion measurements help clients understand the expansion and contraction characteristics of two materials in contact, which may be critical for application success.
Linear Thermal Expansion measurement test methods include ASTM E831, ASTM D696, and ISO11359.
