ASTM International Committee Thermal Measurements

Standards for Differential Scanning Calorimetry issued under the jurisdiction of ASTM International Committee E37 on Thermal Measurements are listed below for reference. For more information, see website www.astm.org. 

Thermal Analysis. A group of techniques in which a physical property of a substance is measured as a function of temperature, whilst the substance is subjected to a controlled temperature programme. The Nomenclature Committee of the International Committee on Thermal Analysis (ICTA) defines a wide range of techniques and their abbreviations, these being incorporated in ASTM E473-85. Those common in ceramics are (q.v.) differential thermal analysis (DTA) differential thermogravimetry (DTG) differential...
