1 Scope

This document specifies a test method, using thermodilatometry^[¹^], for the determination of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of plastics in a solid state by thermomechanical analysis (TMA). This document also specifies the determination of the glass transition temperature using TMA.

NOTE The coefficient of linear thermal expansion can be measured using various types of thermodilatometry apparatus. This document concerns only TMA apparatus.

BSI recommends this version of standard for organisations operating in or with the UK. The ISO edition is available here if required.
