Publication date:   May 10, 2003

Scope

This European Standard specifies test methods for thermal shock and for thermal shock endurance for brittle materials, for instance glass, glass-ceramic and ceramics. Two test methods are described: Test method A is used for articles known to be sensitive to thermal shock; test method B is generally applicable. The test method to be applied depends on the intended use of the article and/or its thermal shock resistance.
