ASTM E2160-04(2018) PDF

Scope: 1.1 This test method determines the exothermic heat of reaction of thermally reactive chemicals or chemical mixtures, using milligram specimen sizes, by differential scanning calorimetry. Such reactive materials may include thermally unstable or thermoset materials. 1.2 This test method also determines the extrapolated onset temperature and peak heat flow temperature for the exothermic reaction. 1.3 This test method may be performed on solids, liquids or slurries. 1.4 The applicable temperature range of this test method is 25 to 600°C. 1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.6 There is no ISO method equivalent to this standard. 1.7 This standard is related to Test Method E537 and to NAS 1613, but provides additional information. 1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.9 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
