Hi,


Iso = same, equal.  Metric = directions.  Isometric = equal in all dimentions (X, Y, Z etc).  
Isometric contruction = Contracts simetrically in all dimentions (same %).
Advantage: You can know in advance what will the changes be (when heating or applying stress).

Isometric expansion/contraction dictates that an object at equibrium of temperature with its surroundings will not expand or contract until the surrounding temperature changes. 

Isothermal expansion/contraction dictates that an object that is hotter/colder than its surroundings will transfer heat to or from its surroundings.

Wikipedia has a good article on thermodynamics.  The math is exact and not all that intimidating.
