Scope

1.1 This test method describes the use of linear controlled-rate-of-loading in three-point bending to determine the elastic modulus of isotropic specimens in the form of rectangular bars using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA).

Note 1: This method is intended to provide results similar to those of Test Methods D790 or D5934 but is performed on a thermomechanical analyzer using smaller test specimens. Until the user demonstrates equivalence, the results of this method shall be considered independent and unrelated to those of Test Methods D790 or D5934.

1.2 This test method provides a means for determining the elastic modulus within the linear region of the stress-strain curves (see Fig. 1). This test is conducted under isothermal temperature conditions from –100 °C to 300 °C.

1.3 Typical test specimens are in the form of thin strips 0.5 mm in thickness, 1.5 mm in width, and 6 mm in length. The size of the test specimen is limited by the distance between the supports used in the three-point bending mode of operation, commonly 0.5 cm.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Significance and Use

5.1 This test method provides a means of characterizing the mechanical behavior of materials using very small amounts of material including thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, composites, and metals.

5.2 The data obtained may be used for research and development and establishment of optimum processing conditions. The data are not intended for use in design or for predicting performance.

Note 2: This test method may not be suitable for anisotropic materials.
