ASTM E 289
This test method covers the determination of linear thermal
expansion of rigid solids using either a Michelson or Fizeau
interferometer.
The precision of measurement of this absolute method (better
than ±40 nm/(m·K)) is significantly higher than that of
comparative methods such as push rod dilatometry (for
example, Test Methods D 696 and E 228) and
thermomechanical analysis (for example, Test Method E 831)
techniques. It is applicable to materials having low and either
positive or negative coefficients of expansion
Coefficient of Expansion
Definition of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
(CTE) The coefficient of thermal expansion is generally defined as
the fractional increase in length per unit rise in temperature. The
exact definition varies, depending on whether it is specified at a
precise temperature (true coefficient of thermal expansion) or over a
temperature range (mean coefficient of thermal expansion). The
former is related to the slope of the tangent to the length –
temperature plot, while the latter is governed by the slope of the
chord between two points on this curve. Considerable variation in
the value of the CTE can occur according to the definition employed.

L75 – LASER
The System
Unmatched resolution and
absolute accuracy is now
possible due to the new
development of the Linseis
Laser Dilatometer of the Picoseries.
The system consists of three
main components:
• The Michelson Interferometer
• The measuring system
• The furnace
The Michelson Interferometer
The used double plane-mirror
interferometer is used for
simultaneously making pairs of
nanoprecision length
measurements.
The He-Ne lasers, which is
frequency stabilized on the
used model, was specifically
designed for making longer
length measurements, along
with corrections for
environmental shifts in laser
wavelength, thus providing the
basis for the unbeaten metric
precisions.
The Measuring System
Dilatometer of the Pico-series. As the
name indicates already the resolution
goes up to Picometers (0,3nm = 300
Picometer). That means resolutions
can be obtained which are up to a
factor 33,33 higher as the resolution
that were possible up to date. On top
the principle of interference
measurement give the possibility for
much higher accuracy’s, especially as
some special computer calibrations are
used. Up to now absolute accuracy’s of
1% were normal, with best accuracy’s
up to 100nm. The new method allows
accuracy’s up to 30nm.

200°C. The difference of
the four measurements
was as low as 0.01% FS.
