Plastics - Thermoplastic materials - Determination of Vicat softening temperature (VST)

ISO 306:2013 specifies four methods for the determination of the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of thermoplastic materials:method A50 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h;method B50 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h;method A120 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h;method B120 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h.The methods specified are applicable only to thermoplastics, for which they give a measure of the temperature at which the thermoplastics start to soften rapidly.

Plastics - Thermoplastic materials - Determination of Vicat softening temperature (VST)

ISO 306:2013 specifies four methods for the determination of the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of thermoplastic materials:

  • method A50 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h;
  • method B50 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h;
  • method A120 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h;
  • method B120 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h.

The methods specified are applicable only to thermoplastics, for which they give a measure of the temperature at which the thermoplastics start to soften rapidly.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

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.
