Plastics - Thermoplastic materials - Determination of Vicat softening temperature (VST)

active, Most Current
Organization: CEN
Publication Date: 1 November 2022
Status: active
Page Count: 24
ICS Code (Thermoplastic materials): 83.080.20
scope:

This document specifies four methods for the determination of the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of thermoplastic materials:

- Method A50 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 50 °C/h;

- Method B50 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 50 °C/h;

- Method A120 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 120 °C/h;

- Method B120 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 120 °C/h.

The methods specified are applicable only to thermoplastics, for which they give a measure of the temperature at which the thermoplastics start to soften rapidly.
