This book gives an in-depth look at the theory of thermal expansion of solids and the techniques for measuring this property. The individual chapters are written by 13 recognised experts on all aspects of the subject who collectively represent almost 500 years of professional activity. While the data presented in the text are mainly placed there to emphasize a point, the analyzed data on reference materials are assembled in the final chapter. The book is Volume 1-4 in the CINDAS Data Series on Materials Properties. Contents: Generalized Theory Estimation Techniques and Selected Effects Historical Perspective Temperature Measurements in Solids Measurement by Pushrod Dilometers, by Optical Interferometer and by X-Ray Diffraction High-Sensitivity Measurements Twin-Telescope Methods High-Speed Interferometric Techniques for High-Temperature Measurement Thermal Expansion of Reference Materials.
