Temperature Correction to Measured Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length Correction due to Temperature = (0.000065*(Final Temperature-Initial Temperature))
C_t = (0.000065*(T_f-t))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length Correction due to Temperature - (Measured in Meter) - Length Correction due to Temperature is the adjustment made to measurements to account for the expansion or contraction caused by temperature changes.
Final Temperature - (Measured in Celsius) - Final Temperature is the temperature recorded at the conclusion of a survey or construction process.
Initial Temperature - (Measured in Celsius) - Initial Temperature is the temperature of the specific materials involved in a survey at the beginning of the observation or measurement period.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Final Temperature: 22 Celsius --> 22 Celsius No Conversion Required
Initial Temperature: 10 Celsius --> 10 Celsius No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_t = (0.000065*(T_f-t)) --> (0.000065*(22-10))

Evaluating ... ...

C_t = 0.00078
