This strain reference table shows the strain for a range of change in length values, assuming an original length of 2 m. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Strain Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
| Change in length | Strain |
|---|---|
| 0.0005 m | 0.000250 |
| 0.001 m | 0.000500 |
| 0.0015 m | 0.000750 |
| 0.002 m | 0.001000 |
| 0.003 m | 0.001500 |
| 0.004 m | 0.002000 |
| 0.006 m | 0.003000 |
| 0.01 m | 0.005000 |
| 0.014 m | 0.007000 |
| 0.02 m | 0.010000 |
How to use this table
Find the row closest to your change in length and read across to the strain. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Strain Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Strain Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
