GENERAL NOTE:
Coefficient A is the instantaneous coefficient of thermal expansion 106 (in./in./F). Coefficient B
is the mean coefficient of thermal expansion 106 (in./in./F) in going from 70F to indicated temperature.
Coefficient C is the linear thermal expansion (in./ft) in going from 70F to indicated temperature.
