Thermal Expansion

Measure for the dimensional expansion of a material when exposed to heat. In the field of electronics, the term CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) is frequently used. A common unit is ppm. A CTE of 20 ppm means, that a material with a length of 1 m expands by 20 µm for each 1°C rise in temperature.
