20、ion of results 4 8 Test report 4 Figure 1 Quartz-tube dilatometer 5EN2155-12:1997 BSI 04-2000 3 1 Scope This standard specifies the method to determine the reversible linear thermal expansion of plastics with exclusion of changes in length due to accidental factors such as changes in moisture conten
21、t, degree of polymerization and stress release. Since it will not be possible to exclude all these accidental factors, the method can be expected to give only approximate values. 2 Definition For the purposes of this standard, the following definition applies: Linear thermal expansion is defined as
22、the change in length of a material in relation to unit length for a variation in temperature of 1 C. 3 Apparatus 3.1 Dilatometer A simple fused-quartz tube dilatometer is shown in Figure 1. Any generally accepted method of measuring thermal expansion may be used which will be accurate to within 10%.
23、 The accuracy of the device which measures the expansion shall be such that it measures the change in length over the temperature interval under consideration within 2%. This device shall not exert a stress of more than 50 kPa on this specimen which shall not be distorted or indented. 3.2 Scale or c
24、aliper The scale or caliper shall be capable of measuring the test length of the specimen with an accuracy of 0,5%. 3.3 Temperature bath The temperature of the specimen shall preferably be controlled by the use of a liquid bath. The bath shall be arranged in such a way that uniform temperature throu
25、ghout the specimen is secured. Means shall be provided for stirring the bath and for controlling its temperature within 0,2 C of the temperatures used. 4 Specimens 4.1 Preparation Specimens shall be cut or shaped, from sheet. The ends of the specimen shall be cut perpendicular to the axis of the spe
26、cimen. They shall be protected by means of thin steel plates cemented to them. 4.2 Dimensions For the apparatus shown in Figure 1, specimens can be round or square and shall fit easily into the outer tube without excessive play. The length of the specimen may be 50 mm to 100 mm but its length is gov
27、erned to some extent by the sensitivity of the dial gauge, the expected expansion and the desired accuracy. 5 Conditioning The specimen shall be conditioned at (23 2) C, (50 5)% relative humidity for at least 48 h prior to measurement of the test length of the specimen under these conditions. 6 Proc
28、edure The temperature range over which the coefficient of thermal expansion is to be measured shall be chosen so that no transitional regions are included. The limits of the range shall be agreed between purchaser and manufacturer. 6.1 Low temperature Mount the specimen in the apparatus and maintain
29、 the temperature of the bath at the lowest temperature at which measurements are required until the temperature of the specimen reaches the temperature of the bath. The time necessary shall be determined by preliminary measurements of temperature inside a similar specimen. Record the reading of the
30、dial gauge or other device indicating change in length. 6.2 High temperature Repeat the foregoing operations at the highest temperature at which measurements are required. 6.3 Check determination Repeat the operations described in 6.1 and 6.2. If the changes in length caused by heating and cooling d
31、o not agree within 10% of their average, the cause of this discrepancy shall be investigated and if possible, eliminated (see 6.5). Otherwise the observations shall be reported, see 8.3. 6.4 Constant temperature bath Where the construction of the apparatus permits, it may be more convenient to alter
32、nately use two baths at the required temperatures. Care shall be taken not to disturb the apparatus during exchange. The use of two baths is preferred because it will reduce the time required to bring the specimen to the desired temperature. The test in general shall be conducted in as short a time
33、as possible to avoid changes in physical properties during long exposure to high and low temperatures.EN2155-12:1997 4 BSI 04-2000 6.5 Transition temperature The coefficient of thermal expansion of some materials is known to change rather abruptly at a certain temperature. To find this temperature,
34、it is necessary to measure the coefficient of thermal expansion in narrow temperature limits, or to observe the rate of expansion during a steady rise in temperature of the specimen. Once such a transition point has been found, a separate coefficient of expansion for a temperature range below and ab
35、ove the transition point shall be determined. 7 Expression of results The average coefficient of thermal expansion shall be calculated from the formula: Coefficient of linear thermal expansion = where: 8 Test report It shall include: 8.1 Temperatures between which the coefficient of thermal expansio
36、n has been computed. 8.2 Average coefficient of linear thermal expansion per C 8.3 Complete description of any unusual behaviour such as, for instance, a difference of more than 10% in measured values of expansion and contraction %L is the average of changes in length due to heating or cooling; L is
37、 the test length of specimens immediately after the conditioning stage (%L and L being in the same units); T is the temperature difference in C over which the change in length has been measured. %L L T -EN2155-12:1997 BSI 04-2000 5 Figure 1 Quartz-tube dilatometerBS EN 2155-12:1997 BSI 389 Chiswick
