Thanks: metengr
I have measured the decrease with a special kind of ruler. I'll keep in mind the volumetric expansion. Maybe also the colling down time has some effect.
I'll look into that.

Hello !
I am working with thermal contraction of carbon steel rings at temperatures from 1200 K and down to room temperature.
I know the theoretical linear thermal expansion factor of the steels but according to measurements it seems that rings with bigger diameter has a higher "shrinking...
