ppm per degree Fahrenheit (ppm/°F)
Per microkelvin (1/μK)

Conversion Formula

1/μK = ppm/°F × 1.800000000e-12

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 microkelvin

The per microkelvin (1/μK) equals exactly 10⁶ /K. It is used in ultra-precision experiments probing anomalous thermal expansion extremely close to second-order phase transitions, such as the superfluid He-4 lambda point (2.1768 K) and magnetic phase boundaries in rare-earth compounds. 1 /μK = 10⁶ /K = 10¹² ppm/K.
