scope:

This standard specifies a method to determine the apparent glass transition temperatures of nonmetallic materials.

This standard is applicable to unidirectional tape and woven fabric reinforced plastic or plastic materials like adhesive or neat resin for comparison of the influence on the glass transition temperature resulting from processing-parameters of non-metallic parts, for compatibility tests for checking cocuring effects of different prepreg types or with adhesive.

This standard does not give any directions necessary to meet health and safety requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to consult and establish appropriate health and safety precautions.
