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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 138, Plastics pipes, fittings and valves for the
transport of fluids, Subcommittee SC 5, General properties of pipes, fittings and valves of plastic materials and
their accessories — Test methods and basic specifications, in collaboration with the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 155, Plastics piping systems and ducting systems, in
accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This third edition of ISO 2507 cancels and replaces ISO 2507-1:1995, ISO 2507-2:1995 and ISO 2507-3:1995,
which have been technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the document was modified following edition 6 of ISO 306:2022;
— the procedure for test piece preparation from pipes and fittings was described in more detail.

Introduction
This document is based on ISO 306.
For convenience of use, it has been considered preferable to draw up a complete document for use in
determining the Vicat softening temperature of thermoplastics pipes and fittings. For further details,
reference to ISO 306 is recommended.
However, that ISO 306 is applicable to materials in the form of sheets, whereas this document is applicable to
products in the form of pipes and fittings.
This document gives the general conditions under which the Vicat softening temperature of pipes and
fittings is determined and provides the particular requirements for conducting tests on pipes and fittings of
various materials.

Thermoplastics pipes and fittings — Vicat softening
temperature — General test method and test conditions for
vinyl chloride-based (PVC-U, PVC-C, PVC-HI) and acrylonitrile-
based (ABS, ASA) pipes and fittings
1 Scope
This document specifies a specific method for determining the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of
thermoplastics pipes and fittings. It includes the adaption of method B 50 of ISO 306:2022 using a force of
50 N and a heating rate of 50 °C/h and the procedure for specimen preparation.
It includes the particular test conditions for determining the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of
unplasticized poly(vinylchloride) (PVC-U) or chlorinated poly(vinylchloride) (PVC-C) pipes and fittings, for
high impact resistance poly(vinylchloride) (PVC-HI) pipes and for acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene (ABS)
and acrylonitrile/styrene/acrylic ester (ASA) pipes and fittings.
This document can also be used for pipes and fittings from other materials (e.g. PE-UHMW).
