Recommended Standard
ISO: 75Part: 1Published: 1999Contact: BSI
TitlePlastics - Determination of deflection temperature under load - General test method
ScopeThis international standard specifies a test method under constant three-point loading in flatwise position, using a defined increase of flexural strain under different constant loads.
CommentThe principle of the method specified is subjecting a standard test specimen to a bending stress under three-point loading to produce one of the nominal surface stresses in the relevant part of this standard, raising the temperature at a uniform rate, measuring the temperature, at which a specified deflection occurs. The results obtained do not necessarily represent maximum use temperatures.
