Advanced technical ceramics - Ceramic composites, thermophysical properties - Part 3: Determination of specific heat capacity EN 1159-3:2003

Publication date:   Jan 30, 2004

Scope

This part of EN 1159 describes two methods for the determination of the specific heat capacity of ceramic matrix composites with continuous reinforcements (1D, 2D, 3D). The two methods are: - Method A: Drop calorimetry; - Method B: Differential scanning calorimetry. They are applicable from ambient temperature up to a maximum temperature depending on the method: method A may be used up to 2 250 K, while method B is limited to 1 900 K.
