Hi All,

Could you please help me understand that what does ,"Range,C/F" indicate in "Table C-5 Thermal Expansion Coefficient, Nonmetals", Pg. 247 in ASME B31.3 2008.

Thanks in advance

CTE for most materials changes with temperature. The reported CTE is essentially the average over the given range.
 
Thanks for the reply.
I have a query that if the reported CTE is average over the range, then which value should be used outside the range.

Thanks
