Bimetallic Strips

Sponsored Links

Bimetallic strips are subject to bending due to heat.

Bending can be calculated as

s = α L² dt / t    (1)

where

s = bending (m)

α = 14 10^-6 K^-1 (check manufacturers catalogues and specifications)

L = length of bimetallic strip (m)

dt = temperature differance (^oC)

t = thichness of bimetallic strip (m)
