ASTM E1461 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Diffusivity by the Flash Method Description: This test method covers the determination of the thermal diffusivity of primarily homogeneous isotropic solid materials. Thermal diffusivity values ranging from 0.1 to 1000 (mm)2 s-1 are measurable by this test method from about 75 to 2800 K. Practice E2585 is …
ASTM E595 – Standard Test Method for Total Mass Loss and Collected Volatile Condensable Materials from Outgassing in a Vacuum Environment Description: This test method covers a screening technique to determine volatile content of materials when exposed to a vacuum environment. Two parameters are measured: total mass loss (TML) and collected volatile condensable materials (CVCM). …
Description: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a non-destructive analytical technique that measures the absorption or transmission of infrared radiation by a sample as a function of frequency or wavelength. FTIR is commonly used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic compounds in various fields such as pharmaceuticals, polymers, food, and environmental analysis. …
Description: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermal analysis technique that measures the heat flow or temperature difference between a sample and a reference material as a function of temperature or time. DSC is commonly used to study the thermal behavior of materials such as polymers, metals, and pharmaceuticals. Typical uses of DSC include: The …
