Softening point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The softening point is the temperature at which a material softens beyond some arbitrary softness.[1] It can be determined, for example, by the Vicat method (ASTM-D1525 or ISO 306), Heat Deflection Test (ASTM-D648) or a ring and ball method (ASTM E28-67).
