Temperature Expansion - Pipes

Input Data
Lo = length of pipe (ft) 300 (example 300 ft)
= linear expansion coefficient (in./in.degF) 2.90E-05 (example PVC)
t = temperature difference (oF) 40 (example)

Calculated Data
l = thermal expansion (inches) 4.2

l = thermal expansion (inches) Length of pipe (ft)
