3、overs the determination of the plas-ticizer sorption of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) homopolymersusing a controlled centrifugal force.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its
4、 use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This test method references notes and footnotes thatprovide explanatory material.

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions are in accordance with Termi-nology D 883 and Terminology D 1600, unless otherwiseindicated.4. Summary of Test Metho
7、d4.1 A sample of PVC is saturated with plasticizer in ascreening tube with an amount of plasticizer equal to approxi-mately twice the weight of the PVC. The PVC and plasticizerare subjected to centrifugation for a specified time. A smallamount of cotton is weighed into the screening tube beforeweigh
8、ing of the PVC to prevent PVC particles from escapingthrough the orifice of the tube during weighing and centrifu-gation. Plasticizer that is not absorbed by the PVC particles isremoved by the centrifugation through the orifice of thescreening tube.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provide
9、s a quantitative measure of therelative plasticizer absorption of general-purpose poly(vinylchloride) resins under standard temperature conditions. Plasti-cizer sorption thus defined is one of the criteria useful for thedescription of the powder blend characteristics of poly(vinylchloride) resins.6.
10、 Apparatus and Materials6.1 Centrifuge, whose rotor turns in a horizontal plane andhas an acceleration under the test conditions of 24 500 to29 500 m s2measured at the level of the bottom of the tube,with, if necessary, a cooling system to prevent the temperatureof the mixture from exceeding 30C at
11、the end of thecentrifuging for 60 min.NOTE 2It is permissible to use higher acceleration to reduce thecentrifuging time, for example, 34 000 m s2and 30 min, provided thatit has been verified that the results obtained are equivalent.6.2 Centrifuge Tubes, to fit the centrifuge used, of glass orplastic
12、, with a conical bottom pierced by a hole of 0.8-mmdiameter (see Fig. 1).6.3 Plastic Sheaths (metal, polyamide, polyethylene, and soforth), with a piece of PVC pipe at the bottom to support thecentrifuge tube (see Fig. 1).6.4 Cotton Wool, pharmaceutical grade, having a DOPabsorption measured under t
