of "wrong answer" it gets when it measures

ABSTRACT

The length will increase or decrease, of course, as the temperature goes up or down. The coefficient of linear expansion of steel might be 6.48 X 10-6 in./(in.tF) or 11.7 X 10-6 mm/ (mmtC) (the coefficient varies somewhat with alloy content, etc.).
