coefficient of expansion

Post by Jan de Jong »

Hello ! I am used to see the COE as COE 96, 92, 104. But now I see this: (11,5 ± 0,3 ) χ 10-6 How can you calculate what the COE is ? Jan de Jong

It's written in scientific notation. In our world, just read it as 115 +/- 3 or 112 - 118 if you like. It's a much more precise way of writing 115.
