Tubeskin thermocouple explansion loops

[donnaj]

Is there any information available on how much horizontal expansion a tubeskin thermocouple can take with a standard loop of 3"? The typical thermocouple is .500 310SS Material. Does anyone know where I might be able to find information on this?
Thanks
