Conversion Formula

1/°F = ppm/K × 5.555555556e-7

About ppm per kelvin

The ppm/K (= μm/(m·K) exactly) equals 10⁻⁶ /K and is the universal CTE unit in international materials standards (ISO, EN, DIN). Aluminium: 23.1 ppm/K; steel: ≈12 ppm/K; ordinary glass: ≈9 ppm/K; fused silica: 0.55 ppm/K; Invar: ≈1.2 ppm/K. 1 ppm/K = 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).
