Directions: First, use the drop-down menu to select inch-Fahrenheit units or mm-Celcius units. Changing the units does not convert the values entered in the yellow fields below: you need to enter correct values manually. After selecting units, enter values in the yellow fields for panel length, coefficient of thermal expansion of the panel material, and so forth. Additional information about sealant joint calculations can be found here.
