What's the difference between dilatometer and expansion?
Dilatometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring the dilatation or expansion of a substance, especially of a fluid.

(16) Herein we describe a dilatometer that consists of a low-mass infrared furnace for rapid heating or cooling, an optical pyrometer, and a laser interferometer.
Expansion
Definition:
(n.) The act of expanding or spreading out; the condition of being expanded; dilation; enlargement.
(n.) That which is expanded; expanse; extend surface; as, the expansion of a sheet or of a lake; the expansion was formed of metal.
(n.) Space through which anything is expanded; also, pure space.
(n.) Enlargement or extension of business transactions; esp., increase of the circulation of bank notes.
(n.) The developed result of an indicated operation; as, the expansion of (a + b)2 is a2 + 2ab + b2.
(n.) The operation of steam in a cylinder after its communication with the boiler has been cut off, by which it continues to exert pressure upon the moving piston.
(n.) The enlargement of the ship mathematically from a model or drawing to the full or building size, in the process of construction.
Example Sentences:
(1) Surprisingly, the clonal elimination of V beta 6+ cells is preceded by marked expansion of these cells.
(2) Blood flow decreased immediately after skin expansion in areas over the tissue expander on days 0 and 1 and returned to baseline levels within 24 hours.
(3) Cellular radial expansion was apparently unaffected by exposure to electric fields.
(4) Plasma fibrinogen decreased by approximately 7% due to hemodilution caused by plasma volume expansion.
(5) To augment the in vitro expansion of LAK cells, we added highly purified human recombinant interleukin-2, phytohemagglutinin and accessory cells (Uc cells) to the LAK culture system, with which huge number of LAK cells (LAK-L) were generated from originally small number of peripheral blood lymphocytes of cancer patients.
(6) This was accompanied by a greater decrease in hematocrit in the continuous group, a finding that suggests that plasma volume expansion occurred during continuous GTN therapy.
(7) Expansion of the cell sheet following attachment, and the fusion of epiblasts advancing toward each other, does not require the presence of mineralocorticoid.
(8) Opsin becomes incorporated into the disk membrane by a process of membrane expansion and fusion to form the flattened disks of the outer segment.
(9) Unlike previous studies where constitutive expression of exogenous IL-6 genes resulted in lymphoproliferative disorders characterized by massive plasmacytosis, minimal plasma cell expansion occurred in the MSCV-IL-6 mice during the observation period.
(10) The hyperreninemia and hyperaldosteronism were both suppressible with volume expansion.
