20. Expansion Cycles Steel bracing will expand more rapidly and with greater magnitude than lead glass during heat up. Expansion is relatively minimal, and should not compromise the mechanical integrity of the calorimeter. The effective linear thermal expansion between the surfaces of lead glass and the surfaces of steel bracing will create a gap of 1.4 mm on the sides and 3 mm on the top. These gaps will be mediated with spring bracing to maintain compression on the lead glass array. During the cooling cycle, steel will contract more rapidly. The peripheral blocks of lead glass will contract more quickly than the inner blocks and leave small gaps due to shrinking. 20
