Expansion of copper tube

Copper has a coefficient of linear expansion of 17 x 10-6oC. for example, a 10 metre length of copper tube carrying hot water at 600C will increase in length by almost 7mm when heated from 200C. Assuming that temperature cycling of the system is 200C, thaere will be a continuous cycle of expansion and contration of 3.4mm. Refer to table below.
