Length per Length per Degree Fahrenheit
°F⁻¹
Definition
The length per length per degree Fahrenheit (°F⁻¹) is a unit of thermal expansion coefficient equal to 1.8 per kelvin. It represents the fractional change in length per unit temperature change in the Fahrenheit scale, providing a practical measure for thermal expansion in imperial temperature measurements.
History/Origin
Developed for thermal expansion measurements using the Fahrenheit temperature scale, this unit became standard in countries using imperial units. It accounts for the different temperature scale intervals between Fahrenheit and Celsius, providing accurate thermal expansion calculations in Fahrenheit-based systems.
Current Use
Widely used in the United States and other countries using imperial units for thermal expansion calculations. It is essential for HVAC system design, automotive engineering, and construction projects where temperature measurements are made in Fahrenheit.

Length per Length per Degree Rankine
°R⁻¹
Definition
The length per length per degree Rankine (°R⁻¹) is a unit of thermal expansion coefficient equal to 1.8 per kelvin. It represents the fractional change in length per unit temperature change in the Rankine scale, providing an absolute temperature-based measure for thermal expansion calculations.
History/Origin
Developed as part of the Rankine absolute temperature scale system, this unit provides thermal expansion measurements in absolute temperature units. It maintains the same relationship as the Fahrenheit unit but is used in contexts requiring absolute temperature measurements.
Current Use
Used in specialized engineering applications, particularly in thermodynamics and heat transfer calculations where absolute temperature measurements are required. It is commonly found in power generation, refrigeration, and aerospace engineering applications.
