Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This

3、 test method covers the determination of the linear thermal expansion of rigid solid materials using push-roddilatometers. This method is applicable over any practical temperature range where a device can be constructed to satisfy theperformance requirements set forth in this standard.NOTE 1Initiall

4、y, this method was developed for vitreous silica dilatometers operating over a temperature range of 180180C to 900C. Theconcepts and principles have been amply documented in the literature to be equally applicable for operating at higher temperatures. The precision andbias of these systems is believ

5、ed to be of the same order as that for silica systems up to 900C. However, their precision and bias have not yet beenestablished over the relevant total range of temperature due to the lack of well-characterized reference materials and the need for interlaboratorycomparisons.1.2 For this purpose, a

6、rigid solid is defined as a material that, at test temperature and under the stresses imposed byinstrumentation, has a negligible creep or elastic strain rate, or both, thus insignificantly affecting the precision of thermal-lengthchange measurements. This includes, as examples, metals, ceramics, re

7、fractories, glasses, rocks and minerals, graphites, plastics,cements, cured mortars, woods, and a variety of composites.1.3 The precision of this comparative test method is higher than that of other push-rod dilatometry techniques (for example, TestMethod D696) and thermomechanical analysis (for exa

8、mple, Test Method E831) but is significantly lower than that of absolutemethods such as interferometry (for example, Test Method E289). It is generally applicable to materials having absolute linearexpansion coefficients exceeding 0.5 m/(mC) for a 1000C range, and under special circumstances can be

9、used for lowerexpansion materials when special precautions are used to ensure that the produced expansion of the specimen falls within thecapabilities of the measuring system. In such cases, a sufficiently long specimen was found to meet the specification.1.4 Computer- or electronic-based instrument

10、ation, techniques, and data analysis systems may be used in conjunction with thistest method, as long as it is established that such a system strictly adheres to the principles and computational schemes set forthin this method. Users of the test method are expressly advised that all such instruments

11、 or techniques may not be equivalent andmay omit or deviate from the methodology described hereunder. It is the responsibility of the user to determine the necessaryequivalency prior to use.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included i

12、n this standard.1.6 There is no ISO method equivalent to this standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine th

13、e applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardizationestablished in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issuedby

20、test method and are listed in Terminologies E473 and E1142:coeffcient of linear thermal expansion,thermodilatometry, and thermomechanical analysis.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 dilatometera device that measures the difference in linear thermal expansion between a test spec

21、imen and its own partsadjacent to the sample.3.2.1.1 DiscussionThermomechanical analyzers (TMA), instruments used in thermal analysis, are often also characterized as dilatometers, due totheir ability to determine linear thermal expansion characteristics. Typically, they employ specimens much smalle

22、r thandilatometers; however, TMA systems with sufficiently large specimen size capability have been shown to measure thermalexpansion accurately. When using the small TMA specimen size, this utilization of TMA equipment should be limited to testingonly very high expansion materials, such as polymers

23、, otherwise the data obtained may be substantially in error. Conversely, somedilatometers can perform some of the TMA functions, but the two devices should not be considered equivalent or interchangeablein all applications.3.2.2 linear thermal expansion, L/L0the change in length relative to the init

In terms of physical meaning, the instantaneouscoefficient of thermal expansion is the derivative of the expansion curve when plotted versus temperature, at the temperature T.It has a rather limit

39、e thermal expansion. The appendix contains information relating to referencematerials in current general use.5.4 The measurement of thermal expansion involves two parameters: change of length and change of temperature, both of themequally important. Neglecting proper and accurate temperature measure

40、ment will inevitably result in increased uncertainties in thefinal data.5.5 The test method can be used for research, development, specification acceptance, quality control (QC) and quality assurance(QA).6. Interferences6.1 Materials Considerations:6.1.1 The materials of construction may have substa

41、ntial impact on the performance of the dilatometer. It is imperative thatregardless of the materials used, steps be taken to ascertain that the expansion behavior is stabilized, so that repeated thermalcycling (within the operating range of the device) causes no measurable change.E228 1736.2 General

42、 Considerations:6.2.1 Inelastic creep of a specimen at elevated temperatures can often be prevented by making its cross section sufficiently large.6.2.2 Avoid moisture in the dilatometer, especially when used at cryogenic temperatures.6.2.3 Means to separate the bath from the specimen are required w

43、hen the dilatometer is immersed in a liquid bath.6.2.4 Support or hold the specimen in a position so that it is stable during the test without unduly restricting its free movement.6.2.5 The specimen holder and push-rod shall be made from the same material. The user must not practice uncontrolledsubs

44、titutions (such as when replacing broken parts), as serious increase of the uncertainties in the measured expansion may result.6.2.6 A general verification of a dilatometer is a test run using a specimen cut from the same material as the push rod andspecimen holder. The resultant mean coefficient of

45、 linear thermal expansion should be smaller than 60.3 m/(mC) for a properlyconstructed system (after applying the systems correction).6.2.7 Conditioning of specimens is often necessary before reproducible expansion data can be obtained. For example, heattreatments are frequently necessary to elimina

46、te certain effects (stress caused by machining, moisture, etc.) that may introduceirreversible length changes that are not associated with thermal expansion.7.

In any push rod dilatometer, both the sample holderand the push-rod(s) shall be made of the same material, having been proven to exhibit thermal expansion char

48、acteristics within61 % of each other. Illustrations of typical tube and rod-type configurations are given in Fig. 1. It is often practiced to configurespecimen holders that are not shaped as a tube, but serve the same structural purpose. This is an acceptable practice, as long asthe shape is mechani

49、cally stable and is not prone to reversible configurational changes (such as twisting, etc.) upon heating andcooling.NOTE 2The tube and the push-rod beyond the specimen, while parallel to each other, are expected to have identical thermal gradients along them,thereby identical thermal expansion. This is a critical factor, as differences in net expansion between the tube and the push-rod will appear very muchlike expansion produced by the specimen. To a limited extent, calibration (see Section 9) can be
