Thermal Expansion of 316SS

[Lovison]

If I have 2.375" Diameter of 316SS bar stock
and I have a temperature of 500 Deg. F How much
thermal expansion can I anticapate?

Is there a web site where you can pull up this information?

According with ASM-Metals Reference Book, for 316 wrought SS in aneal condition, you can have a mean coeficient of thermal expansion (in micro in./in.*Deg F) of 8.8 @ up to 212degF, 9.0 @ ut to 600degF& 9.7 @ up to 1000degF. Is that good enough?
