Coefficient Thermal Expansion SS304H

[Wrl69]

Could anyone tell me what is the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion value of SS 304H, for 1150°F?. Where can I found any list of that Coefficient, to any temperature value?

The linear coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for AISI Type 304 SS (which can be approximated for 304H) at 1150 deg F is reported to be 10.4 X 10^-6 inch/inch deg F.
The range of CTE values for 304 SS are reported as;

1200 deg F 10.4 X 10^-6 in/in deg F
800 deg F 10.1
400 deg F 9.7

The source of this data is from the "Handbook of Stainless Steels" by Peckner and Bernstein.

the cte is listed in various handbooks, in the B31 piping codes material data, etc.

MIL-HDBK-5H has a plot of alpha (CTE) vs. temperature for 300 series stainless steels.
