It is applicable to all polymers thatdissolve completely without chemical reaction or degradationto form solutions that are stable with time and temperature.Results of the test are usually expressed as specific viscosity,intrinsic viscosity (limiting viscosity number),

4、inherent viscos-ity (logarithmic viscosity number), or relative viscosity (vis-cosity ratio).1.2 Since there is more than one type of viscometer avail-able to measure a differential pressure, follow the manufactur-ers directions applicable to the equipment being used.1.3 The solution viscosity value

Thistest method differs from the glass capillary in that the solventand the solution are compared at the same time that a test isrun. With a glass capillary, each solution must be referencedback to the solvent run in

6、the same capillary at the sametemperature.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulator

Each result is an averageof three or more independent tests made by a single laboratory.(WarningThe following explanations of Irand IR(11.2 t

Thedata in Table 1 should not be rigorously applied to acceptanceor rejection of material, as those data are specific to the onelaboratory and may not be representative of other lots

33、, condi-tions, materials, or laboratories.)NOTE 2Users of this test method should apply the principles outlinedin Practice E 691 to generate data specific to their laboratory andmaterials, or between specific laboratories. The principles of 11.2.1through 11.2.3 would then be valid for such data.11.2
