(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Temperature Calibration of Dynamic Mechanical Analyzers
Standard Test Method for Temperature Calibration of Dynamic Mechanical Analyzers
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Dynamic mechanical analyzers monitor changes in the viscoelastic properties of a material as a function of temperature and frequency, providing a means to quantify these changes. In most cases, the value to be assigned is the temperature of the transition (or event) under study. Therefore, the temperature axis (abscissa) of all DMA thermal curves must be accurately calibrated by adjusting the apparent temperature scale to match the actual temperature over the temperature range of interest.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method describes the temperature calibration of dynamic mechanical analyzers (DMA) from –150°C to 300°C.
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 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. Specific precautionary statements are given in Note 7.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM 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

3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 The technical terms used in this test method are defined in Terminologies E473, E1142, and E2161, including dynamic
mechanical analysis, frequency, stress, strain and storage modulus.
4. Summary of Test Method
4.1 An equation is developed for the linear correlation of experimentally observed program or sensor temperature and the actual
melting temperature for known melting reference materials. This is accomplished by loading melting point reference materials into
a polymer tube, or wrapping them with polymer tape and subjecting it to a mechanical oscillation at either fixed or resonant
frequency. The extrapolated onset of melting is identified by a rapid decrease in the ordinate signal (the apparent storage modulus,
stress, inverse strain or probe position). This onset is used for temperature calibration with two melting point reference materials.
5. Significance and Use
5.1 Dynamic mechanical analyzers monitor changes in the viscoelastic properties of a material as a function of temperature and
frequency, providing a means to quantify these changes. In most cases, the value to be assigned is the temperature of the transition
(or event) under study. Therefore, the temperature axis (abscissa) of all DMA thermal curves must be accurately calibrated by
adjusting the apparent temperature scale to match the actual temperature over the temperature range of interest.
6. Interferences
6.1 An increase or decrease in heating rates or change in purge gas type or rate from those specified may alter results.
6.2 Once the temperature calibration procedure has been executed, the measuring temperature sensor position shall not be
changed, nor shall it be in contact with the specimen or specimen holder in a way that would impede movement. If the temperature
sensor position is changed or is replaced, then the entire calibration procedure shall be repeated.
