7、i-cal Data3. Terminology3.1 Specific technical terms used in this test method aredefined in Terminology E 473.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The temperature sensor of the DSC, used to determinethe temperature of a transition, is located close to but externalto the test specimen. This arrangement cause

8、s the indicatedtemperature to lead or lag the actual specimen temperature onheating/cooling causing the reported temperature to be higheron heating and lower on cooling than the actual specimentransition temperature. A DSC apparatus temperature, that hasbeen calibrated for heating experiments, needs

9、 to be re-calibrated for cooling experiments. Such a calibration oncooling is performed using a liquid crystal material, thetransition(s) for which are not subject to super-heating orsuper-cooling.4.2 The transition temperature of a rapid, non-superheatingand non-supercooling transition is determine

10、d upon heatingand upon cooling. The difference between these two indicatedtemperatures provides an offset temperature value betweenheating and cooling experiments at the indicated rate. Thisoffset temperature value, when used with a precise temperaturecalibration upon heating, may serve as an instru

11、ment calibra-tion function upon cooling.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful in calibrating the temperaturesignal of a differential scanning calorimeter for cooling experi-ments such as the determination of crystallization temperaturesin Test Method D 3418 and Test Method E 794.1Thi
