>> Everyone seems to understand that heat will tend to cause a material to expand. However, it does not seem clear to me that everyone understands that the expansion will cause any hole cut in that material (eg. the socket in the barrel) to enlarge as well. <<

That's how it works with metal. However, I was trying to get definite info about this for wood and got contradicting answers. These contradicting answers came from other very reputable clarinet and barrel makers, repairers and wood workers. So I'm still looking into it. I guess it's not really suprising that some supposedly very reputable people are wrong, because this happens often enough...

So far it does seem to work like metal but I really want to find out for sure. Maybe it could depend on the type of wood? I don't know.

I have put old barrels I didn't need anymore in water and a toaster oven before, to experiment, but don't remrember what I measured before and after. I might try that again.
