A flat copper sheet has a hole with area 0.260m^2 at room temperature (25?C). If it‘s heated to 590 ?C, what‘s the hole‘s new area?i think you somehow incorporate the area of a circle, but i am not sure how/then i dunno. lol! en explanation would be great
Home depot, Lowe, Ebay, Internet vendors or just look around your garage; there may be one little piece laying some where and large enough to make the gasket Good luck!
If a regular exhaust gasket keeps blowing out you have a warped or bent part. sheet copper is not going to fix an exhaust leak if the gaskets don't hold up. Try using Copper RTV that holds up to high temperatures. We used to seal V8 exhaust manifolds to the heads with out gaskets using that product. Every auto parts store stocks it.
Area expansion is like a photographic enlargement Every linear dimension increases by the same percentage with a change in temperature, including holes. This assumes that the expanding material is uniform. Thermal expansion of an area can be calculated from the linear expansion coefficient hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hba. hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hba. Goodbye
More than likely you can find a piece of solid copper in the thickness you're looking for in the McMaster Carr catalog or website.
