ASTM E2206-21

5.1?Most thermomechanical analysis experiments are carried out with some force applied to the test specimen. This force is often created electronically. It may be constant or changed during the experiment.

5.2?This method demonstrates conformance or calibrates the electronically applied force signal.

5.3?This method may be used for research and development, quality control, manufacturing or regulatory applications.

5.4?Other thermomechanical analyzer calibration functions include temperature by Test Method E1363 and length change by Test Method E2113.

1.1?This test method describes the calibration or performance confirmation of the electronically applied force signal for thermomechanical analyzers over the range of 0 N to 1 N.

1.2?The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3?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.

1.4?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.
