Theoretically, the coefficient of linear expansion can be found from the coefficient of volumetric expansion (β≈3α). However, for liquids, α is calculated through the experimental determination of β.

Famous quotes containing the word expansion:
“We are caught up Mr. Perry on a great wave whether we will or no, a great wave of expansion and progress. All these mechanical inventions—telephones, electricity, steel bridges, horseless vehicles—they are all leading somewhere. It’s up to us to be on the inside in the forefront of progress.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
