IS 13360 : Part 10 : Sec 4 : 2001 Plastics - Methods of Testing - Part 10 : Thermosetting Properties - Section 4 : Determination of Gel Time and Peak Exothermic Temperature of Reacting

1 SCOPE

This standard (Part 10/Sec 4) prescribes the method for the determination of the time from the initial mixing of the reactants of a thcrmosetting plastic composition to the time when solidification commences, under conditions approximating the conditions of use. This method also provides a means for measuring the maximum temperature reached by a reacting thermosetting plastic composition, as well as (he time from initial mixing to the time when this peak exothermic temperature is reached. This test method is limited to reacting mixtures exhibiting gel times greater than 5 minutes
