Temperature Change for Axial Elongation | The change in temperature that will cause axial elongation in members or uniform volume expansion in elements. |
Temperature Differential from Top to Bottom |
Temperature differential of the member or element (T top surface – T bottom surface). |
Temperature Differential from side to side (Local Z) | Accounted for when the temperature difference is not the same across the sides of the member from left to right. |
