16、t Method6.1 The viscosity of resins is measured by determining the torque on a spindle rotating at constant speed in the liquid samplewhich is adjusted to 2560.1C. Samples with viscosities exceeding 100 000 mPas(cP) at 50C are dissolved inat 2560.1C.Generation of comparative data using this method r

Apparatus7.1 Constant-Temperature Bath, capable of maintaining temperatures a temperature of 2560.1C and 506

18、0.1C should is tobe used. Water, water and glycerin, or oil may be is used as the heating medium and the bath should is to be provided with heating,stirring,circulating, and thermostatting devices.7.2 Bath and Sample Thermometers, graduated in 0.1C subdivisions and standardized for the range of use

19、to the nearest0.01C. ASTM Saybolt Viscosity Thermometers having ranges from 19 to 27C and 49 to 57C, as specified, and conforming tothe requirements for Thermometers 17CS117C and 19C,S64C, respectively, as prescribed in Specification E1E2251 arerecommended. Any other thermometric device of equal or

20、better accuracy is also acceptable.7.3 Brookfield Synchrolectric ViscometerRotational Viscometer Model LVF with speeds of 60, 30, 12, and 6 r/min is to beused when available. It is applicable to the range of 10 to 100 000 mPas(cP). If this model is not available, Model RVF or HAFmay be substituted.

21、However, samples should be heated or dissolved in the standard way to keep the measured viscosity below100 000 mPas(cP) so that the test may be repeated in other laboratories under similar conditions with Model LVF. Capable of userdefined speed and spindle combinations.An instrument that is capable

22、of providing the shear rate is recommended. The calibrationof the instrument should is to be checked periodically by measuring the viscosity of Brookfield Engineering Laboratories viscosityNIST traceable standard fluids. Standard fluids L-2, L-3, R-1, R-2, H-1 are suitable for the usual range. The c

Any solvent in which the polyol is completelymiscible is acceptable.9. Preparation of Sample9.1 The preparation of a homogeneous sample is of primary impor

24、tance in viscosity measurements. A nonuniformnon-uniformtemperature distribution as well as the presence of air bubbles and traces of extraneous material should be avoided. Resins are noteasily made homogeneous with respect to temperature, therefore, the sample shouldare to be avoided. The sample mu

25、st bethoroughly mixed and the temperature measured at several locations in the sample vessel before determining the viscosity.10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Attach the viscometer with an adjustable clamp to a ring stand.Adjust the legs at the base of the ring stand until the bubbleis in the center

26、 of the spirit level on the viscometer.Attach the spindle that applies to the range expected for the sample (see SectionFollow the manufacturers instructions to set up the instrument and ensure that the viscometer is level.12).11. Choice of Temperature11.1 Samples that are liquid and have a viscosit

27、y of less than 100 000 mPas(cP) at 25C should be measured at that temperature.Materials that fulfill this requirement only when heated from 25 to 50C should are to be measured at 50C. If the sample viscosityexceeds 100 000 mPas(cP) at 50C, the sample may be dissolved in n-butyl acetate (70 or 35 % s

28、olids) and the viscosity of thesolution measured at 25C.11.2 In cases of interlaboratory studies and higher viscosity samples, all parties are to agree upon a set measurementtemperature.12. Choice of Spindle and Rotational Speed12.1 The recommended Brookfield synchrolectric viscometer models Rotatio

29、nal viscometers offer a variety of spindle size androtational speeds. In the case of non-Newtonian liquids, changing these factors will cause variation in the results obtained. Ingeneral, the following recommendations should guide in the choice of provide guidance for choosing the spindle size and s

30、peedto be used for a specific sample. (See Table 1.)D4878 15212.1.1 The combination chosen should give an instrument reading near the center of the scale (that is, 175 to 325 on the 500scale).12.1.1 The lowest possible speed consistent with fulfilling the requirement given incombination chosen shall

31、 generate a torquevalue between 15 and 12.1.1 should be used in order to deemphasize certain types of non-Newtonian behavior. 90 % of full scale,or that specified by the instrument manufacturer.12.1.1.1 If more than one speed/spindle combination will fulfill the requirement of 12.1.1, the combinatio

32、n with the higherspeed will provide higher accuracy and the combination with the lower speed will minimize certain types of non-Newtonianbehavior.12.1.1.2 There must be agreement between the testing laboratory and the submitter on the spindle, speed selection.12.1.3 If these two recommendations conf

33、lict, the requirements given in 12.1.1 have preference.13. Procedure13.1 Place sufficient sample in a 600-mL low-form beaker Using the smallest container recommended by the manufacturer,place sufficient sample to cover the immersion mark on the viscometer spindle. Cover the beaker with a watch glass

34、 container andimmerse it to the sample level in thea constant temperature bath. Stir occasionally without trapping air bubbles. Check thetemperature at several different locations in the beakercontainer to make sure ensure uniformity has been achieved.13.2 After the desired temperature has been obse

35、rved throughout the sample for 10 min, immerse the viscometer spindle andguard (and the guard when recommended by the manufacturer) into a sample to the immersion line marked on the spindle. Exercisecaution to avoid air bubbles gathering under the spindle during immersion. If bubbles are observed, d

36、etach the spindle, keepingit in the sample, and stir until the bubbles are released. ReinsertReattach the spindle.13.3 Press down the viscometer clutch lever and start the motor by snapping the toggle switch. Release the clutch lever andallow rotation to continue until the spindle has made eight or

37、ten revolutions. Depress the clutch lever, stop the motor, and readthe scale. If, when operating at higher speeds the pointer is not in view when the dial has come to rest, throw the motor switchon and off rapidly until the pointer reaches the window. Follow the manufacturers instructions to measure

38、 the viscosity for thesample using a 15-second rotation time.13.4 Repeat the procedure until three readings on the 500 scale agree within five units. After the analysis, spindles are cleanedwith a solvent appropriate for the polyol and equipment used, for example, methanol or acetone.14. Calculation

If the instrument scale is 0 to 100, multiply the calculated result by five.the manufacturer for the speed/spindlecombination used to convert the instrument re

Values obtained should be reduced as follows:14.2.1 No. 1 spindle, deduct 0.4 mPas(cP),14.2.2 No. 2 spindle, deduct 2.0 mPas(cP),14.2.3 No
