Enter the thermal expansion coefficient for a generic liquid. The
coefficient is required for the temperature compensation of volume
with various flow equations (i.e. Liquid Mass or Corrected Liquid
Volume).
Input:
Number with floating decimal point: 0.000...100000 (e-6)
The thermal expansion coefficient can be calculated as follows:
