Expansion coefficients of some common materials used for calculating pipe temperature expansion of pipes and tubes can be found in the table below:

Note! The high expansion coefficients for the plastic materials makes plastic piping and tubes extreme sensitive to change in temperature. Always pay attention to plastics were temperature varies.
