24、N ISO 306:2013ISO 306:2013(E)IntroductionThis revision introduces heating equipment, consisting of a fluidized bed, as a new apparatus; this is as an alternative to liquid-filled heating baths and direct-contact heating units. Fluidized beds can reach higher temperatures than traditional liquid-fill

25、ed heating baths; therefore, they represent a suitable way to measure the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of thermoplastic materials having improved thermo-mechanical properties.It was also felt necessary to add precision data based on round robin testing performed in 2009, and comparison data for

26、 tests with liquid-filled and fluidized bed. ISO 2013 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 306:2013BS EN ISO 306:2013Plastics Thermoplastic materials Determination of Vicat softening temperature (VST)1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies four methods for the determination of the Vicat softening tem

27、perature (VST) of thermoplastic materials: method A50 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h; method B50 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 50 K/h; method A120 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h; method B120 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 120 K/h.Th

28、e methods specified are applicable only to thermoplastics, for which they give a measure of the temperature at which the thermoplastics start to soften rapidly.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable to its

33、3.2loadforce applied to test specimen by means of the indenting tipNote 1 to entry: It is expressed in Newtons (N).3.3Vicat softening temperatureVSTtemperature at which a flat-ended needle penetrates the specimen to a depth of 1 mm under a specified load using a selected uniform rate of temperature

34、riseNote 1 to entry: It is expressed in degrees Celsius (C).4 PrincipleThe temperature at which a standard indenting tip with a flat point penetrates 1 mm into the surface of a plastic test specimen is determined. The indenting tip exerts a specified force perpendicular to the test specimen, while t

35、he specimen is heated at a specified and uniform rate.The temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the specimen, measured as close as possible to the indented area at 1 mm penetration, is quoted as the VST.5 Apparatus5.1 Heating equipment, consisting of one of the following (5.1.1, 5.1.2 or 5.1.3) that w

36、ill accept a minimum of two test frame assemblies and a cooling device (5.1.4).The heating equipment shall be provided with means of temperature control, enabling the temperature to be raised at a uniform rate of (50 5) K/h or (120 10) K/h.The heating rate shall be verified either by checking and re

37、cording automatically over the whole temperature range, or by manually checking and recording the temperature change at 6-min intervals over the temperature range being verified.The requirement for the heating rate shall be considered satisfied if, over every 6-min interval during the test, the temp

38、erature change is (5 0,5) C or (12 1) C, respectively. For multiposition heating equipment, the heating rate shall be verified at each test station. The apparatus may be designed to shut off the heat automatically and sound an alarm when the specified indentation has been reached.5.1.1 Liquid-filled

39、 heating bath, containing a liquid in which the test specimen can be immersed to a depth of at least 35 mm. Liquid paraffin, transformer oil, glycerol and silicone oil are suitable liquid heat-transfer media, but other liquids may be used. An efficient stirrer shall be provided. It shall be establis

40、hed that the liquid chosen is stable at the temperature used and does not affect the material under test, for example by swelling or cracking. Do not heat the liquid filled heating bath in excess of the flash point specified by the heat transfer media manufacturer.5.1.2 Direct-contact heating unit,

41、containing heaters and blocks, which through conductive heating, raise the temperature of the specimen at a controlled rate until the VST is reached.5.1.3 Fluidized bed, containing a powder bed (e.g. aluminium oxide powder), in which the test specimen can be immersed to a depth of at least 35 mm. Th

42、is type of apparatus uses a micrometric aluminium oxide powder, which when mixed with a suitable flow of heated air, creates a liquid-like heating medium. The maximum working temperatures (and measurable VSTs) are therefore much higher than those attainable 2 ISO 2013 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 30

43、6:2013ISO 306:2013(E)with liquids according to 5.1.1. An efficient stirring mechanism shall be provided, in order to achieve a temperature homogeneity in the specimen area analogous to the case of a liquid-filled heating bath.5.1.4 Cooling device, as an optional means to reduce the temperature of th

44、e heating device; it may be used to reduce the time between tests.5.2 Test frame assemblies (see Figures 1 and 2), consisting of the following.5.2.1 Rod and frame, provided with a support plate or other suitable load-application device, held in a rigid metal frame. The rod shall be able to move free

45、ly, with minimum friction, in a vertical direction. The rod shall be designed to accept weights that will apply the test load. The base of the frame supports the test specimen under the indenting tip at the end of the rod (see Figures 1 and 2). It is recommended that the rod and the frame(s) be cons

46、tructed of low thermal expansion material.5.2.2 Indenting tip, preferably of hardened steel, 1,5 mm to 3 mm long, of circular cross-section and of area (1,000 0,015) mm2(corresponding to an indenting-tip diameter of (1,128 0,008) mm), fixed at the bottom of the rod (5.2.1). The surface of the indent

47、ing tip in contact with the specimen shall be flat and perpendicular to the axis of the rod, and free from burrs.5.2.3 Weights, applied to the rod (5.2.1) centrally, so that the total load applied to the test specimen is (10 0,2) N for methods A50 and A120 and (50 1) N for methods B50 and B120.5.2.4

48、 Penetration-measuring device, calibrated micrometer dial gauge, LVDT (linear variable differential transformer) or other suitable measuring instrument to measure the penetration of the indenting tip into the test specimen to an accuracy of 0,01 mm.5.2.5 Temperature-measuring device.5.2.5.1 For a li

49、quid-filled bath and a fluidized bed, use a suitable temperature-measuring instrument of appropriate range and accurate to within 0,5 K. Thermometers shall be calibrated at the depth of immersion required by 5.1.1 and 5.1.3. The temperature-measuring device shall be positioned as close as possible to both the indenting tip and the specimen, but avoiding direct contact between the sensor and specimen.5.2.5.2 For a direct-contact heating unit, use a suitable temperature-measuring instrument of appropriat
