Conversion Formula

1/°F = ppm/°F × 1.000000000e-6

About ppm per degree Fahrenheit

The ppm/°F (= μin/(in·°F) exactly) equals 9/5 × 10⁻⁶ /K ≈1.8 × 10⁻⁶ /K and is the dominant CTE unit in US ASTM standards, ASME piping codes, and mechanical engineering handbooks. Steel ≈6.7 ppm/°F; aluminium ≈12.8 ppm/°F; copper ≈9.4 ppm/°F. 1 ppm/°F = 9/5 × 10⁻⁶ /K.

About Per degree Fahrenheit

The per degree Fahrenheit (1/°F = °F⁻¹) equals exactly 9/5 /K = 1.8 /K and is the imperial counterpart of the SI unit. Found in ASME boiler and pressure vessel codes, ASHRAE engineering tables, and UL material data sheets. Iron: ≈6.7 × 10⁻⁶ /°F; ordinary glass: ≈4.9 × 10⁻⁶ /°F. 1 /°F = 9/5 /K (= 1/°R).
