Dilatometry

Dilatometry is a scientific technique used to measure how the size or volume of a material changes with temperature. When materials are heated or cooled, they expand or contract, and dilatometry precisely tracks these dimensional changes. This information helps scientists understand a material's thermal properties, stability, and behavior under different temperatures. The method involves using specialized equipment to detect tiny length changes as temperature varies, providing insights important for engineering, manufacturing, and materials science to ensure materials perform reliably in their applications.
