Yes there is, please look to results as per herunder schedule:<br><br>Temperature&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E3<br>200 C&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.41&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.24<br>300 C&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.19&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.80&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.56 <br>400 C&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.34&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.88 <br>500 C&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.16&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.00&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.36<br>600 C&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.23&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.67&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.81<br><br>Where : <br>E1 : Expansion in mm\m for 18/8 Stainless steel.<br>E2 : Expansion in mm\m for Low Cr.Mo.( up to 3% Cr)Carbon steel.<br>E3 : Expansion in mm\m for Intermediate Cr.Mo.(5%-9%)Carbon steel.<br><br>You can interpolate to find a mathematical formula<br><br>I hope the above is helpful,<br><br>BYYYY<br><br>&nbsp;<br>
