SR EN ISO 11357-1:2023

The ISO 11357 series specifies several differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods for the thermal analysis of polymers and polymer blends, such as —    thermoplastics (polymers, moulding compounds and other moulding materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements), —    thermosets (uncured or cured materials, with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements), and —    elastomers (with or without fillers, fibres or reinforcements). The ISO 11357 series is applicable for the observation and measurement of various properties of, and phenomena associated with, the above-mentioned materials, such as —    physical transitions (glass transition, phase transitions such as melting and crystallization, polymorphic transitions, etc.), —    chemical reactions (polymerization, crosslinking and curing of elastomers and thermosets, etc.), —    the stability to oxidation, and —    the heat capacity. This document specifies a number of general aspects of differential scanning calorimetry, such as the principle and the apparatus, sampling, calibration and general aspects of the proc
