Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11359-3 Plastics TMA Linear Thermal Expansion Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 11359-3 is an international standard that governs the measurement of linear thermal expansion in plastics using thermomechanical analysis (TMA). This standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely recognized as a benchmark for measuring the dimensional changes of plastic materials under various temperature conditions.

Relevant Standards and Regulations

The ISO 11359-3 standard is part of the ISO 11359 series, which covers the measurement of thermal expansion in plastics using TMA. The standard is based on the principles of ISO 11359-1 and ISO 11359-2, which provide general guidelines for TMA testing.

In addition to ISO standards, national and international regulations may require compliance with specific requirements related to this test. For example:

  • ASTM D4440 (Standard Test Method for Thermal Expansion of Plastics by Thermomechanical Analysis)

  • EN ISO 11359-3 (European Standard for Measurement of Linear Thermal Expansion in Plastics Using TMA)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) TS EN ISO 11359-3

    • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The development of standards is a collaborative effort between organizations, governments, and industry stakeholders. The role of standard development organizations includes:
