Procedure10.1 Attach a pair of rigid specimen clamps to a specimenwith a minimum spacing of 5 mm between the contact points.Weigh the specimen

32、and clamps and record this value.NOTE 4Use of between-clamp distances of less than 5 mm mayimpart erroneous results because of end effects introduced by the clamppressure. Refer to the Precautions Section, if a thicknes outside the rangeof 0.2 to 5 mm is to be used.10.2 Suspend the specimen with cla

33、mps between the contactpoints of the specimen holder and the tension probe. BE SURETHE POSITION OF THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR ISUNCHANGED FROM THAT USED IN THE CALIBRA-TION PROCEDURE.10.3 Move the furnace to enclose the specimen and clamps.Start the inert gas purge and equilibrate the specimen andclamps

34、 at the desired starting temperature.NOTE 5Cool or heat the specimen, clamps and furnace to a tempera-ture equivalent to at least 3 min of heating below the first temperature ofinterest to ensure stable heater control; for example, 15C for a 5C/minrate. The coolant used to lower the temperature shou

35、ld not come in contactwith the specimen or clamps.10.4 Apply a constant tensile force to the specimen in therange of either 5 to 10 mN (to observe shrinkage) or of 20 to50 mN (to observe elongation).E 18242NOTE 6The observed inflection temperature will be dependent uponthe applied stress. Therefore,

36、 the applied force should be adjusted forspecimen cross-section area to ensure the same stress level is applied to allspecimens.10.5 Heat the specimen and clamps at a constant rate of5C/min over the desired temperature range.NOTE 7Other forces and heating rates may be used if applied both inthe cali

37、bration and throughout the testing. The test conditions shall benoted in the report.10.6 Note the occurrence of an abrupt change in slope(positive for shrinkage and negative for elongation) of thelength versus temperature curve that indicates a transition ofthe material from one state to another.10.

38、7 Upon reaching the upper temperature limit of theheating program, remove the applied tensile force and restorethe furnace, specimen and clamps to ambient temperature.10.8 Reweigh the specimen and clamps reporting anychange in mass.NOTE 8Weighing of the specimen and clamps is required to deter-mine

Calculation11.1 Derive a glass transition temperature as follows usinggraphics or software:11.1.1 Construct a tangent to the lower temperature portionof the thermal curve

40、,11.1.2 Construct a tangent to the steepest portion of theslope beyond the transition, and11.1.3 The temperature at which these tangents intersect isthe derived glass transition temperature, Tg8.11.2 Apply any temperature correction determined from theinstrument temperature calibration to Tg8 to obt

Note, there arethree cases illustrated, namely, a sample that exhibits shrinkage(over the Tgregion under the conditions utilized), a sample thatexhibits elongational reorientation, and a sample with noapparent stress-relied induced dime

42、nsional change. Because Tgis an assigned parameter its value may depend on experimentalconditions, namely on the applied stress on the sample, and inthe case of a film, the direction of the applied stress relative tothe vector of the stress relief.12.
