ISO 306:2004 specifies four methods for the determination of the Vicat softening temperature (VST) of thermoplastic materials:

  1. Method A50 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 50 °C/h
  2. Method B50 using a force of 50 N and a heating rate of 50 °C/h
  3. Method A120 using a force of 10 N and a heating rate of 120 °C/h
  4. Method B120 using a force of 50 N and a heating ## Source - https://isopublicstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/opendata/_latest/iso_deliverables_metadata/csv/iso_deliverables_metadata.csv Last verified: 2026-08-05.
