Thermal Expansion Coefficient by TMA (Anisotropic) for General Motors applications
Test ID
T-302 GM
Description
This test measures thermal expansion coefficient using a thermomechanical analyzer fitted with quartz thermal expansion fixture. Data is taken in flow and x-flow directions to determine anisotropy. Data(probe position) is collected over an initial heating phase, a cooling phase, and a reheating phase. Calculations for the thermal expansion coefficient are performed on the reheating phase.
Options
Other test orientations can be specified based on client needs.
Standards
- ISO 11359-2
Data

Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 3
Samples
1 plaques (4 x 12in) [details]
Application
This test is used to meet the General Motors data requirements for coefficient of thermal expansion.
