Metals have a thermal expansion coefficient. This means the metal will expand a certain amount with every increase in temperature. For example, a typical 304 stainless steel has a linear thermal expansion coefficient of 9.500e-06 or 0.0000095 in / in * F. The steel will expand 0.0000095 inches for every inch in diameter and every Fahrenheit degree increase in temperature.
