Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 5, Physical-
chemical properties.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11359-2:1999), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the testing procedure has been revised with regard to test load and purge gas conditions;
— the evaluation of determination of the mean coefficient of thermal expansion with reference
specimen has been specified more precisely;
— the document has been editorial revised.
A list of all parts in the ISO 11359 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Part 2:
Determination of coefficient of linear thermal expansion
and glass transition temperature
1 Scope
[1]
This document specifies a test method, using thermodilatometry , for the determination of the
coefficient of linear thermal expansion of plastics in a solid state by thermomechanical analysis (TMA).
This document also specifies the determination of the glass transition temperature using TMA.
NOTE The coefficient of linear thermal expansion can be measured using various types of thermodilatometry
apparatus. This document concerns only TMA apparatus.

Note 2 to entry: By replacing the term “length” by “volume” in the formulae in 3.1 and 3.2, the coefficient of
volumetric thermal expansion can be obtained.
4 Principle
The change in a dimension of a test specimen is measured as a function of temperature using a TMA
apparatus to generate a TMA curve from which the coefficient of linear thermal expansion can be
calculated.
5 Apparatus
The components of the TMA apparatus used for this document shall be as specified in ISO 11359-1 and
shall also be capable of
a) operating in a compression mode or a tension mode or both, and
b) maintaining the specimen under a controlled atmosphere in accordance with ISO 291.
NOTE 1 Measurements on specimens of film or fibre are made in the tension mode.
NOTE 2 Typically, an atmosphere of dry air or an inert gas such as nitrogen is used.
6 Test specimens
6.1 Preparation
Test specimens shall be prepared in accordance with ISO 11359-1.
The standard test specimen is a rectangular specimen 5 mm to 10 mm in length and about 5 mm in
width. However, specimens of other dimensions may be used by agreement between the interested

with respect to the direction of production shall be recorded, i.e. machine direction, transverse
direction or other.
Reference shall be given to the relevant material standards for the number of test specimens, but at
least three specimens shall be prepared and tested from each sam
