(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Length Change Calibration of Thermomechanical Analyzers
Standard Test Method for Length Change Calibration of Thermomechanical Analyzers
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Performance verification or calibration is essential to the accurate determination of quantitative dimension change measurements.
This test method may be used for instrument performance validation, regulatory compliance, research and development and quality assurance purposes.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method describes calibration of the length change (deflection) measurement or thermal expansion of thermomechanical analyzers (TMA) within the temperature range from -150 to 1000 °C using the thermal expansion of a suitable reference material.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This test method differs from ISO standard 11359-1 by providing an alternative calibration procedure.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult and establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

This document is not anASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of anASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 Thermomechanical analyzers (TMAs) or related devices are commonly used to determine coefficient of linear thermal
expansion of solid materials (e.g., Test Method E 831). The test specimen is heated at a linear rate over the temperature range of
interest and the change in length (dimension) is electronically recorded.
4.2 Performance verification or calibration of the length change measurement is needed to obtain accurate coefficient of thermal
expansion data.
