Foreword
GB/T 36800 "Plastic Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA)" is divided into three parts.
--- Part 1. General;
--- Part 2. Determination of linear thermal expansion coefficient and glass transition temperature;
--- Part 3. Determination of penetration temperature.
This part is the second part of GB/T 36800.
This part is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This section uses the translation method equivalent to ISO 11359-2.1999 "Plasma Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA) Part 2. Linear Heat
Determination of expansion coefficient and glass transition temperature.

3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions as defined by ISO 11359-1 apply to this document.
3.1
Thermal expansion thermalexpansion
The change in sample size at the time of temperature change was measured by a thermal expansion method.
3.2
Linear thermal expansion coefficient coefficientoflinearthermalexpansion
The length of material per unit length varies reversibly for every 1 °C change in temperature.
Note. Two different linear thermal expansion coefficients can be determined. differential linear thermal expansion coefficient and average linear thermal expansion coefficient.
3.2.1
Differential linear thermal expansion coefficient differentialcoefficientoflinearthermalexpansion
Calculate the expansion coefficient in either direction in three directions at temperature (T) and constant pressure (p). The equation is as follows.
alpha=
dL( ) p
dT( ) p
L0=
dL/dt( ) p
dT/dt( ) p
L0
(1)
In the formula.
L0 --- the initial length of the sample in the measurement direction at room temperature;
L --- the length of the sample in the measurement direction at temperature T;
dL---the change in length during the test time interval dt under a constant pressure p;
dT---the change in temperature during the test time interval dt under a constant pressure p.
