<strong>in</strong>creases and the heat <strong>of</strong> cure decreases. These changes can be used to characterize and quantify the<br />

degree <strong>of</strong> cure <strong>of</strong> the res<strong>in</strong> system (Perk<strong>in</strong>s-Elmer, 2000).<br />

Four samples <strong>of</strong> the CIPP l<strong>in</strong>er labeled crown, spr<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>e, <strong>in</strong>vert, and virg<strong>in</strong> res<strong>in</strong> material were tested.<br />

The Tg determ<strong>in</strong>ation followed ASTM E1356-08 “Standard Test Method for Assignment <strong>of</strong> the Glass<br />

Transition Temperatures by Differential Scann<strong>in</strong>g Calorimetry.” The mass <strong>of</strong> each sample was measured<br />

with a Mettler AT261 Delta Range balance and calorimetry was conducted with a Perk<strong>in</strong> Elmer Diamond<br />

DSC that <strong>in</strong>cludes an Intracooler cool<strong>in</strong>g accessory. The DSC was calibrated per manufacturer’s<br />

specifications us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dium and z<strong>in</strong>c standards. The DSC test<strong>in</strong>g is summarized <strong>in</strong> Table 4-10.<br />

Glass transition, Tg, values were calculated based on the methodology described <strong>in</strong> ASTM E1356-08<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g the midpo<strong>in</strong>t temperature, Tm, <strong>of</strong> the extrapolated onset and end temperatures <strong>of</strong> the transition<br />

range. The midpo<strong>in</strong>t temperature is the most commonly used as the glass transition temperature as it has<br />

been found to have higher precision and is more likely to agree with the Tg measured by other methods.<br />

M<strong>in</strong>imal gravimetric loss was observed (approximately 3.5% <strong>of</strong> weight or less) as a result <strong>of</strong> the imposed<br />

thermal cycle <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g, that the samples were thermally stable over the range <strong>of</strong> temperatures evaluated.<br />

The gravimetric data is summarized <strong>in</strong> Table 4-11.<br />
