CONTAINED IN VOL. 14.05, 2018 Determines the enthalpy (heat) of fusion (melting) and crystallization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

1.1This test method describes the determination of the enthalpy (heat) of fusion (melting) and crystallization by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

1.2This test method is applicable to solid samples in granular form or in any fabricated shape from which an appropriate specimen can be cut, or to liquid samples that crystallize within the range of the instrument. Note, however, that the results may be affected by the form and mass of the specimen, as well as by other experimental conditions.

1.3The normal operating temperature range is from −120 to 600°C. The temperature range can be extended depending upon the instrumentation used.

1.4This test method is generally applicable to thermally stable materials with well defined endothermic or exothermic behavior.

1.5Computer or electronic based instruments, techniques, or data treatment equivalent to those in this test method may also be used.

1.6The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.7The enthalpy of melting and crystallization portion of ISO 11357-3 is equivalent to this standard.

1.8This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
