Nomenclature for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry

The nomenclature for thermal analysis and calorimetry is presently under review, so that recent developments and calorimetric methods may be included. The recommendations approved by the ICTA Council and by lUPAC are reported by Dr Robert C. Mackenzie in Treatise on Analytical Chemistry, Part 1, Vol. 12, Section J, ed. P. J. Hiving, Wiley, New York, 2nd edn., 1983. A provisional version was also given in For Better Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, ed. J. O. Hill, ICTA, Edition III, 1991. However, this has not been approved by ICTA Council. A further revision is in preparation. 

The ASTM have adopted a Standard Terminology Relating to Thermal Analysis (ASTM E 473-99) which is similar in many respects to the ICTAC definitions.
