Polyamide - ISO 307
The PSL Rheotek RPV-3 determins the viscosity number of polyamides in dilute solution using glass capillary viscometers in accordance with ISO 307.
The test method requires a 0.5% concentration. Solvent and solution flow times are measured at 25 deg. C using the same size of suspended-level Ubbelohde type viscometer for both measurements.
For Formic Acid a size 1 viscometer is used and a size 2 for m-Cresol. The method requires that two successive flow times are obtained within a 0.25% precision.
For each polyamide sample, ISO 307 also requires at least two determinations of the viscosity number in order to meet the repeatability criteria.
The dual position RPV-3 (2) is an ideal configuration. The iSP-1 Sample Preparation system can be used in conjunction with the RPV-3 to prepare samples on a precise weight to weight basis. Dissolution is carried out either using a wrist action shaker (WAS) for samples dissolved in Formic Acid and a reaction block with stirring and heating at 90 to 100 deg. C with a programmable timer. (SD-BM).
