Cellulose Acetate - ASTM D871

The PSL Rheotek RPV-2 determins the Intrinsic Viscosity of Cellulose Acetate in dilute solution using glass capillary viscometers in accordance with ASTM D871. The test method requires a concentration of sample dissolved in Acetone solution or Methylene Chloride solution. Solvent and solution flow times are measured at 25 deg. C using the same size of suspended-level Ubbelohde type viscometer for both measurements. The method requires that at least two flow times are obtained. The RPV-2 software automatically calculates the Intrinsic Viscosity from each single determination using the modified Baker-Philippoff equation. The dual position RPV-2 (2) is an ideal configuration and can be combined with the RSS auto sampler. The iSP-1 Sample Preparation system can be used in conjunction with the RPV-2 to prepare samples on a precise weight to weight basis. Dissolution is carried out using a wrist action shaker with a programmable timer. Reported Results: Relative Viscosity (RV), Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) dL/g.
