What Does CLTE Stand For?
CLTE stands for Coefficient Of Linear Thermal Expansion
CLTE, or Coefficient Of Linear Thermal Expansion, is a material property that measures the rate at which a material expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature. It quantifies the relative change in size per unit length per degree change in temperature, typically expressed in units of microstrains per degree Celsius. Understanding CLTE is essential for predicting thermal behavior in engineering applications, ensuring the integrity and performance of materials in environments subject to temperature fluctuations.
