0.00000645in/in/deg F is the coefficient of expansion for steel. so if you had a 12" plate, that was heated up 30°f you would get "0.00000645 * 12 * 30 = 0.002322" (12" + 0.002322") would be the new length at the increased temperature.

Why do steel bars expand when heated make use of kinetic theory of matter to support the answer?
The temperature of steel is determined by the amount of vibration of its constituent atoms. Hotter atoms vibrate more. And when they vibrate more, they take up more space. Hence, the steel expands.
When brought into an oxygen rich atmosphere steel will burn at what temperature?
Ignition temperature for of steel is normally around 800degC.
What physical state is steel at room temperature?
Steel is not an element it is a metallic alloy containing iron, carbon and other additives. At standard temperature and pressure it is a solid.
Will an inert gas expand and contract with temperature?
It will contract.
What are the phases of eutectoid steel at room temperature?
The lowest temperature at which austenite transforms into ferrite and cementite. Steel with 0.77 percent carbon transforms at this temperature. Learn more abouteutectoid temperaturein the classHeat Treatment of Steel 230below.
Does brass expand more than steel?
Linear Temperature Expansion Coefficient (10-6 in/in oF) Brass = 10.4 Steel = 7.3 Therefore brass will expand or contract more steel.
Does steel expand or compress when heated?
The steel would EXPAND
The Eiffel Towers height will fluctuated is it right?
Yes, but it's almost insignificant. Being steel, the tower will expand and contract with the temperature. This is true of all buildings. Coincidentally, the coefficient of expansion is the same for steel and concrete.

The temperature of steel is determined by the amount of vibration of its constituent atoms. Hotter atoms vibrate more. And when they vibrate more, they take up more space. Hence, the steel expands.
When the temperature of a gas increases does the volume of the gas increase in a rigid steel container?
No, because the gas is in a rigid steel container, its volume cannot increase as the temperature increases (assuming the steel does not deform). Instead, the pressure of the gas inside the container will increase. Of course, if the pressure is high enough, the container will explode, lowering the pressure and causing the gas to expand.
Does cast iron expand more than steel?
NO.
What causes a substance to expand?
An increase in temperature of the substance causes it to expand.
Do solids expand at the same rate?
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
What temperature would water be if steel was put in it?
That really depends on the temperature of the water and the steel !
How can you Calculate the change in length of a steel bridge girder that will be exposed to a temperature change?
Use the coefficient of thermal expansion. This is a measure of how much a unit length of steel would expand per each unit increase in temperature. There are different kinds of steel so you may need to know its composition.
What does shrinkage temperature steel do?
Steel bars laid in concrete to reduce cracking do to temperature change
What matter expand and contract?
explain how temperature affects matter using the words contract and expand
