Young's modulus duct material

Young's modulus, $E$, quantifies the relationship between tensile or compressive stress $\sigma$ (force per unit area) and axial strain $\epsilon$ (proportional deformation) in the linear elastic region of a material: $E = \sigma / \epsilon$.

Young's modulus is commonly measured in the International System of Units (SI) in multiples of the pascal (Pa) and common values are in the range of gigapascals (GPa).
The values over temperature range have been generated with the help of AI. They have been cross-checked for plausibility using various publications.

Note: 1 GPa = 1000 MPa = 1000 N/mm$^2$ = kN/mm$^2$
