What Does TCLE Stand For?

TCLE stands for Thermal Coefficient Of Linear Expansion

TCLE, or Thermal Coefficient of Linear Expansion, is a material property that quantifies the extent to which a material expands or contracts in response to changes in temperature. It is defined as the fractional change in length per unit temperature change, typically expressed in units of per degree Celsius (°C) or per Kelvin (K). Understanding the TCLE is crucial in engineering and construction to ensure that materials can withstand thermal stresses without failing or causing structural issues.
