Advanced technical ceramics - Ceramic composites, thermophysical properties - Part 3: Determination of specific heat capacity(includes Corrigendum AC:2008); English version of DIN EN 1159-1:2008-06
This part of EN 1159 describes two methods for the determination of the specific heat capacity of ceramic matrix
composites with continuous reinforcements (1 D, 2D, 3D).
Unidirectional (1D), bi-directional (2D) and tridirectional (XD, with 2 < x _< 3).
The two methods are:
-- method A: drop calorimetry;
-- method B: differential scanning calorimetry.
They are applicable from ambient temperature up to a maximum temperature depending on the method: method A
may be used up to 2 250 K, while method B is limited to 1 900 K.
NOTE Method A is limited to the determination of an average value of the specific heat capacity over a given temperature
range and can give a larger spread of results.
