Plastics piping and ducting systems. Thermoplastics pipes and fittings. Determination of vicat softening temperature (vst).
Le présent document décrit une méthode de détermination de la température de ramollissement Vicat des tubes et des raccords en matières thermoplastiques et comprend l'adaptation, dans ce but, de la méthode B, décrite dans l'ISO 306, en utilisant une force de 50 N.
Le présent document décrit une méthode de détermination de la température de ramollissement Vicat des tubes et des raccords en matières thermoplastiques et comprend l'adaptation, dans ce but, de la méthode B, décrite dans l'ISO 306, en utilisant une force de 50 N.
The method specified is based on determining the temperature at which a standard indenter, under a force of 50 N ± 1 N, penetrates 1 mm into the surface of a test piece cut from the wall of a pipe or fitting while the temperature is raised at a constant rate. Is applicable only to thermoplastics materials for which it is possible to measure the temperature at which the rate of softening becomes rapid. Is based on ISO 306:1994 which, however, applies to materials in the form of sheets.
Specifies the particular test conditions for determining the Vicat softening temperature of PVC-U and PVC-C pipes and fittings as well as PVC-HI pipes (the general test method is given in ISO 2507-1). Also gives, for information, the corresponding basic specifications.
Specifies the particular test conditions for determining the Vicat softening temperature of ABS and ASA pipes and fittings (the general test method is given in ISO 2507-1). Also gives, for information, the corresponding basic specifications.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
