Appendix A
(Normative)
Determination of dimensional change (shrinkage) after heating
A.1 Specimen
Cut 3 square specimens, which have a side length of 100 mm ± 2 mm, from the sample
sheet. Their positions are approximately equal along the width of the sample.
Dry at a temperature of 70 °C ± 2 °C for 48 h. Then cool to room temperature, in a
desiccator (18 °C ~ 28 °C; 23 °C ± 2 °C if in disputes). For in-line quality control tests,
this drying stage can be omitted, BUT is required when in dispute.
Mark the 4 sides AND measure each length, accurate to 0.02 mm.
A.2 Heating program
Place the specimen horizontally on the flat plate on the shelf in the oven. Keep the oven
temperature at 160 °C ± 2 °C. Take suitable measures, to prevent the specimen from
sticking to the plate, e.g., cover the plate with a layer of talc. The heating time depends
on the thickness of the sheet AND shall be in accordance with Table A.1.
Table A.1 -- Heating time
Thickness/mm Time/min
1.5 ~ 5 60
> 5 75
Note: The specimen warps when heated, its size is difficult to measure. To reduce warpage,
lightly spread a layer of talcum powder on the lead plate (0.5 mm). Place the specimen on the
plate. Place it on the frame or shelf, which is larger and thicker than the specimen. Leave space
around the specimen, to prevent expansion of the specimen. Then lightly spread a layer of
talcum powder on the specimen. Place the second lead plate on the specimen and the shelf. Use
clips to clamp the two lead plates tightly together.
A.3 Cooling program
Cool the specimen to room temperature (18 °C ~ 28 °C; 23 °C ± 2 °C in case of dispute)
in a desiccator. Then measure 4 sides, accurate to 0.02 mm.
A.4 Calculation
The change in the length of each side of each specimen is calculated as a percentage of
the initial value. Calculate the average value of the change of the four sides of each
specimen, as well as the average value of the change of the 3 specimens of the batch.
