3、test method defines conditions for the use ofdifferential scanning calorimetry(DSC)with fluoropolymers.It covers the use of DSC analyses with the fluoropolymers,PTFE,PVDF,PCTFE,and PVF and their copolymers PFA,MFA,FEP,ECTFE,EFEP,VDF/HFP,VDF/TFE/HFP,VDF/CTFE.The test method is applicable to the analy
4、sis of powdersas well as samples taken from semi-finished or finishedproducts.The nature of fluoropolymers is such that specialprocedures are needed for running DSC analysis and interpret-ing the results.1.2 The values stated in SI units as detailed in IEEE/ASTMSI-10 are to be regarded as the standa
