What is 'coefficient of expansion' in SAP EHS-ERP - EHS Management in ERP?

coefficient of expansion - Overview

• Component: EHS-ERP

• Component Name: EHS Management in ERP

• Description: Measurement for a change in volume when temperature is raised. The mean cubic coefficient of expansion for liquids is calculated from specific weights at 15 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius.

  Key Concepts: 
  Coefficient of expansion is a term used in SAP EHS Management in ERP. It is a measure of the rate at which a material expands when heated. It is expressed as the fractional change in length per degree Celsius. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP EHS Management in ERP, the coefficient of expansion is used to calculate the thermal expansion of materials. This calculation is important for determining the size and shape of components that are exposed to extreme temperatures. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the coefficient of expansion, it is important to consider the temperature range that the material will be exposed to. This will help ensure that the correct coefficient of expansion is used for accurate calculations. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The coefficient of expansion can also be used to calculate the thermal stress on components due to temperature changes. This calculation can help determine if components are suitable for use in extreme temperatures.
