Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes the
3、apparatus and generalprocedure for making ball-drop viscosity measurements onsolutions of various cellulose derivatives. Instructions forsample preparation, solution concentration, and other detailsare discussed in theASTM methods for the respective cellulosederivatives.1.2 This test method is appli
4、cable to solutions of variouscellulose derivatives having viscosities greater than 10 P, byusing balls of various diameters and densities. Viscosity resultsare expressed preferably in poises.1.3 In commercial practice, viscosities are often expressedin seconds using 2.38-mm (332-in.) stainless steel
5、 balls.2Whenthe viscosity is outside the practical range for these balls (75 to300 P), the measurement can be made using a calibrated pipetviscometer or a different ball and calculating the observedviscosity to the corresponding time for a 2.38-mm (332-in.)ball, even though it is a small fraction of
6、 a second.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Summary of Test Method3.1 A solution of the
9、cellulose derivative is made in asuitable solvent and allowed to equilibrate at a chosen tem-perature. A stainless steel or aluminum ball is dropped into thesolution, and the time required for it to cover a measureddistance in its fall is recorded. The viscosity of the solution canthen be calculated
10、 in poise or recorded in seconds.NOTE 1The choice of solvent has significant influence on viscosity.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test provides an easy method of determining theviscosity of cellulose derivatives in a given solvent. Theanswers are in units commonly used in industrial practice.Such
11、information is needed for cellulose derivatives that are tobe extruded, molded, sprayed, or brushed as is or in solution.5.

This viscometer is a rectangular glass enclosure withfront and rear walls that have etched horizontal parallel l
16、ines50.8 mm (2.00 6 0.02 in.) apart. The bottles containing thesamples solutions are set inside the viscometer at a level suchthat the upper etched line of the viscometer is at least 12.7 mm(12 in.) below the upper surface of the solution in the bottle,and the lower etched line of the viscometer is
17、at least 12.7 mm(12 in.) above the bottom of the sample bottle. Suitable lightingis provided to enable the observer to sight across the paralleletched lines, through the sample bottle and solution, avoidingin this manner parallax errors. With this viscometer no timingmarkers need to be provided on t
18、he bottles.5.2 Bottles and Caps:5.2.1 Bottles, round or square, conforming to the dimen-sional requirements shown in Table 1, shall be used. Screwcaps of metal or phenolic plastic in sizes to fit the bottles andhaving aluminum foil or cardboard and cellophane liners maybe used to close the bottles.
19、Alternatively, rubber stopperscovered with aluminum or tin foil, may also be used asclosures. In this latter case, solvent loss during measurement ofviscosity can be minimized by removing the stopper, leavingthe foil in place, and making a small hole in the center of thefoil through which the balls
20、may be dropped.5.2.2 Timing marks shall be provided around each bottle oron the front and back of the glass-walled constant-temperaturewater bath, to avoid parallax errors. The lower timing markshall be at least 13 mm (0.5 in.) above the base of the bottle,and the upper mark shall be 50.8 6 0.5 mm (
21、2.00 6 0.02 in.)above the lower mark.Apractical means of marking consists ofwrapping a 50.8-mm (2-in.) strip of transparent sheetingaround the water bath at the proper location. The edges of thesheeting may be darkened with crayon. A light located back ofthe water bath aids in observing the ball dur
22、ing its fall.5.3 BallsUnless specifically directed otherwise, balls ofvarying size and density shall be used, depending on theviscosity of the solution. Table 2 gives the useful ranges,approximate apparatus constants, and dimensions of severalsuch balls. The exact diameter, weight, and density shall

Procedure7.1 Preparation of SolutionDry the sample and prepare asolution as sp
25、ecified for the particular material. Such instruc-tions are given in the viscosity sections of Test Methods D301,D871, and D817. Weigh into the bottle an appropriate amountof dry sample and specified solvent, accurate to 0.1 g, to makeabout 350 mL of solution. The accurate and precise make up ofthe
26、solution is a necessity (example: 60.00 g of celluloseacetate and 240.00 g solvent). Close the bottle tightly. Allow tostand a short time for the solvent to penetrate the sample. Thentumble or shake until a uniform solution is obtained. For somesamples this may require several days. Transfer to the
27、waterbath at 25 6 0.1C, and allow the solution to come totemperature. A practical method to determine possible solventloss during this time involves weighing the bottle immediatelyafter adding the components, and again before performing theball drop.7.2 Viscosity DeterminationDrop a 2.38-mm (332-in.
28、)stainless steel ball through the center of the column of solutionand time its fall through the marked 50.8-mm (2-in.) distance,using a stop watch and taking precautions to avoid parallaxerrors. If the observed time is less than 15 s or greater than100 s repeat the measurement, unless directed other
29、wise, usinga different ball (see Table 2) which has a time of fall withinthese limits. If the solution is known to be thixotropic in natureor if the times of fall for successive balls vary significantly, usefreshly prepared solutions for duplicate measurements ormeasurements with balls of other size

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionTable 3 is based on a round robin con-ducted in 1991 in accordance with Practice E691, involvingtwo materials (cellulose acetate and
37、 cellulose acetate butyrate),tested by eight laboratories.6Both materials were prepared atone source, which also provided the sample bottles and thestainless steel balls. Each test result was the average of fourball drops on one prepared dope. Each laboratory obtainedthree test results (one test res
38、ult was obtained each week).NOTE 2The following explanations of r and R (10.2 through 10.2.3)are only intended to present a meaningful way of considering theapproximate precision of this test method. The data in Table 3 should notbe rigorously applied to acceptance or rejection of material, as those
39、 dataare specific to the round robin and may not be representative of other lots,conditions, materials, or laboratories. Users of this test method shouldapply the principles outlined in Practice E691 to generate data specific totheir laboratory and materials, or between specific laboratories. Thepri
40、nciples of 10.2 through 10.2.3, would then be valid for such data.10.2 Concept of Repeatability/ReproducbilityIf repeat-ability standard deviation (Sr) and reproducibility standarddeviation (SR) have been calculated from a large enough bodyof data, and for test results that are averages of four ball
41、 dropsper dope, the information in 10.2.1 through 10.2.3 applies.10.2.1 Repeatability (r) is used for comparing two testresults for the same material by the same operator using thesame equipment. The two test results should be judged notequivalent if they differ by more than the r value for thatmate
