Default A return to thermal expansion considerations with Dynex Dux standing rigging

Hi John,

Thanks for your response. I would like to return to discussion of thermal expansion issues, which was one of the original topics of this thread. I will start a new thread to address the creep question.

As a starting point, there is the question of the coefficient of thermal expansion for Dynex Dux.

Do you believe the value I quoted above of -12E-6 per deg C (n.b., that's a negative value), which I found quoted in various places for Dyneema fiber, to be correct for Dynex Dux line? If not, what is the appropriate value?
