Scope1.1 This terminology is a compilation of definitions of termsused in ASTM documents relating to thermal analysis andrheology. This terminology includ
3、es only those terms for whichASTM either has standards or is contemplating some action. Itis not intended to be an all-inclusive listing of terms related tothermal analysis and rheology.1.2 This terminology specifically supports the single-wordform for terms using thermo-as a prefix, such as thermoa
4、na-lytical or thermomagnetometry, while recognizing that forsome terms a two-word form can be used, such as thermalanalysis. This terminology does not support, nor does itrecommend, use of the grammatically incorrect, single-wordform using thermalas a prefix, such as, thermalanalytical orthermalmagn

7、ques that monitors the temperature versus time profileneeded to maintain a chosen, fixed rate of change of aproperty of a substance. (ICTAC) (1999)NOTE 1Compared to controlled-temperature experiments, where thereaction rate tends to increase exponentially and the rate can becomelimited by heat or ma
8、ss transfer, CRTA experiments are more likely toinvolve the chemical reaction as the limiting step. This technique can alsoimprove the resolution of multiple reactions. For example, in controlledrate experiments, power to the furnace is controlled to ensure a fixed rateof mass loss (or gain).control
9、led-temperature program, nthe temperature historyexperienced by a sample during the course of a thermalanalysis experiment.NOTE 2In contrast to controlled-rate experiments, power to thefurnace is controlled to ensure a fixed rate of temperature change forcontrolled-temperature experiments. The progr
10、am may include heating orcooling segments in which the temperature is changed at a fixed rate,isothermal segments in which time becomes the explicit independentvariable, or any sequence of these individual segments. If the atmosphere(or vacuum) around the sample is changed by some external action(de

12、analysis, (DETA or DEA), na techniquein which the dielectric constant (permittivity, or capacitance)and dielectric loss (conductance) of a substance underoscillating electric field are measured as a function oftemperature or time while the substance is subjected to acontrolled-temperature program in

14、differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), nA technique inwhich the heat flow difference into a substance and areference material is measured as a function of temperaturewhile the substance and reference material are subjected to acontrolled-temperature program.
