Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.
ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 75-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 2, Mechanical properties.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 75-3:1993), which has been technically revised.
ISO 75 consists of the following parts, under the general title Plastics — Determination of temperature of deflection
under load:
 Part 1: General test method ｗｗｗ．ｂｚｆｘｗ．ｃｏｍ

Introduction
In this edition of ISO 75-3, the test load is determined as a fraction of the flexural modulus of the material under
test. This has the advantage that the test load is a fraction of the flexural strength of the material. The test
determines the temperature-dependent decrease in the flexural modulus. Because tensile modulus and tensile
strength are not necessarily related, using the flexural modulus to determine the test load leads to more readily
comparable descriptions of material behaviour.
The strain increase at which the temperature of deflection under load is read has been increased from 0,1 % to
0,2 % to obtain greater commonality with ISO 75-2.
Unlike ISO 75-2, this part of ISO 75 only allows flatwise loading, as was already the case in the previous edition
(ISO 75-3:1993).
In order to maintain consistency with ISO 10350-1:1998, Tf has been used as the symbol for temperature of
deflection under load.

Plastics — Determination of temperature of deflection under

load —
Part 3:
High-strength thermosetting laminates and long-fibre-reinforced
plastics
1 Scope
This part of ISO 75 specifies a method for the determination of the temperature of deflection under load of high-
strength thermosetting laminates and compression-moulded long-fibre-reinforced plastics in which the fibre length
is greater than 7,5 mm. The flexural stress used is not fixed, as in ISO 75-2, but is a fraction (1/1 000) of the initial
(room-temperature) flexural modulus of the material under test. This allows the method to be applied to materials
with a wide range of flexural moduli.
For additional information, see ISO 75-1:2004, clause 1.

6.5 Test-specimen preparation
Test specimens shall be produced in accordance with ISO 295, ISO 10724-1 or the relevant part of ISO 1268 (and
ISO 2818, if applicable), or as agreed by the interested parties.
Ensure that all cut surfaces are as smooth as possible, and that any unavoidable machining marks are in the
lengthwise direction.
In the case of compression-moulded test specimens, the width shall be perpendicular to the direction of the
moulding force. For materials in sheet form, the thickness of the test specimens (i.e. the thickness of the sheet)
shall be in the range 2 mm to 7 mm. For samples over 7 mm thick, reduce the thickness to 7 mm by machining one
face. If the faces of the test specimen are dissimilar, report the face machined in the test report.
In view of the requirement for the span to be 30 times the test-specimen thickness (see 5.1), it may be anywhere
between 60 mm and 210 mm. Some test machines have a fixed span of 100 mm, however, and can therefore only
be used with test specimens up to 3 mm thick. Such a machine may be used but, if the test-specimen thickness is
greater than 3 mm, it will have to be reduced by machining. As before, machine only one face and, if the faces are
dissimilar, report which face was machined in the test report.
NOTE Most reinforced-thermoset laminates are anisotropic, and may be non-homogeneous across their thickness, and
machining may significantly alter their properties.
6.6 Annealing
Discrepancies in test results due to variations in moulding conditions can be minimized by annealing the test
specimens before testing them. Since different materials require different annealing conditions, annealing
procedures shall be employed only if required by the materials standard or if agreed upon by the interested parties.
7 Conditioning
8 Procedure
8.1 Calculation of force to be applied

--``,`,,```,`,,,,,,```,`,,,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
The force applied shall be such as to generate a flexural stress σf equal to 1/1 000 of the flexural modulus of the
material at room temperature (either determine the flexural modulus in accordance with ISO 178 or ISO 14125, as
appropriate, or use the value given by the manufacturer).
The applied force can also be determined as the force required to generate an initial deflection equivalent to a
flexural-strain increase ∆εf of 0,1 % in the test specimen [see ISO 75-1:2004, equation (5)]. This approach has the
advantage of not requiring explicit knowledge of the flexural modulus to determine the force to be applied. If this
approach is used, the initial deflection shall be accurate to ± 2,5 %. Inserting the flexural-strain increase ∆εf of 0,1
and the required span L of 30h in equation (5) in ISO 75-1:2004, it can be seen that the acceptable error in the
initial deflection is therefore ± (3,75 × 10−3)h.
NOTE For a specimen thickness h of 4 mm, this corresponds to an acceptable error of ± 0,015 mm.
8.2 Initial temperature of the heating equipment

IS-57ISO 75−3:2004
O3:(4002)E
8.3 Measurement
Adjust the span L between the supports to 30 times the thickness h (± 1 mm) of the test specimen. Place the test
specimen on the supports in the flatwise position. Apply the calculated force (see 8.1) to give the required flexural
stress.
Calculate the standard deflection ∆s by means of equation (5) in ISO 75-1:2004, using a value of 0,2 % for the
flexural-strain increase ∆εf.
Record the temperature at which the initial deflection of the bar has increased by the standard deflection. This
temperature is the temperature of deflection under load. If the individual results differ by more than 5 °C, repeat
tests shall be carried out.
