ASTM E2253-16

1.1 This test method provides procedures for validating temperature and enthalpy measurements of differential scanning calorimeters (DSC) and analytical methods based upon the measurement of temperature or enthalpy (or heat), or both, by DSC. Performance parameters determined include temperature and calorimetric repeatability (precision), detection limit, quantitation limit, linearity, and bias. This test method is applicable to exothermic events.
