1.1This test method determines the exothermic heat of reaction of thermally reactive chemicals or chemical mixtures, using milligram specimen sizes, by differential scanning calorimetry. Such reactive materials may include thermally unstable or thermoset materials.
1.2This test method also determines the extrapolated onset temperature and peak heat flow temperature for the exothermic reaction.
1.3This test method may be performed on solids, liquids or slurries.
1.4The applicable temperature range of this test method is 25 °C to 600 °C.
1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6This standard is related to Test Method E537, but provides additional information.
1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.8This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
