EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 11359-3 testing. This standard specifies a method for determining the penetration temperature of thermoplastics using thermomechanical analysis (TMA).

ISO 11359-3 Plastics - Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) - Determination of Penetration Temperature

ISO 11359-3 is a standard in the ISO 11359 series that focuses on the thermomechanical analysis (TMA) of plastics. TMA is a technique used to analyze the dimensional changes of materials under controlled temperature conditions. This particular part of the ISO 11359 series, Part-3, deals with the determination of the penetration temperature.

Penetration temperature is a parameter that indicates the softening behavior of a plastic material. It represents the temperature at which a certain penetration force is required to penetrate the material at a certain depth. This measurement is helpful in understanding the behavior of the material under different thermal conditions.

ISO 11359-3 provides guidelines for conducting the TMA test to determine the penetration temperature. The standard outlines test setup, sample preparation, equipment requirements, and test procedure. It specifies parameters such as force, penetration depth and heating rate to be used during the test.

Materials engineers and researchers can determine the penetration temperature necessary to understand the thermal properties and behavior of a plastic material by following the procedures outlined in ISO 11359-3. This knowledge is valuable in a variety of applications such as material selection, process optimization and quality control.
