Use ΔL=α×L0×ΔT. Initial length is 12 m at 20 °C, final temperature 70 °C, and the supplied constant α is 0.000012 per K. Expansion is unrestrained. This model does not specify anchors, stresses, joints or compensators.
Calculate the dimensionless length change fraction. Keep intermediate values unrounded; round the final result to four decimal places if necessary.
