Plastics - Determination of the viscosity of polymers in dilute solution using capillary viscometers - Part 2: Poly(vinyl chloride) resins (ISO 1628-2:2020)

1.1  This document specifies conditions for the determination of the reduced viscosity (also known as viscosity number) and K-value of PVC resins. It is applicable to resins in powder form which consist of homopolymers of the monomer vinyl chloride and copolymers, terpolymers, etc., of vinyl chloride with one or more other monomers, but where vinyl chloride is the main constituent. The resins may contain small amounts of unpolymerized substances (e.g. emulsifying or suspending agents, catalyst residues, etc.) and other substances added during the course of the polymerization. This document is not applicable, however, to resins having a volatile-matter content in excess of 0,5 % ± 0,1 %, when determined in accordance with ISO 1269. In addition to this, it is not applicable to resins which are not entirely soluble in cyclohexanone.
1.2  The reduced viscosity and K-value of a particular resin are related to its molecular mass, but the relationship varies depending on the concentration and type(s) of other monomer(s) present. Hence, homopolymers and copolymers having the same reduced viscosity or K-value might not have the same molecular mass.
1.3  The values determined for reduced viscosity and K-value, for a particular sample of PVC resin, are influenced differently by the concentration of the solution chosen for the determination. Hence the use of the procedures described in this document only gives values for reduced viscosity and K-value that are comparable when the concentrations of the solutions used are identical.
1.4  Limiting viscosity number is not used for PVC resins.
1.5  The experimental procedures described in this document can also be used to characterize the polymeric fraction obtained during the chemical analysis of a PVC composition. However, the values calculated for the reduced viscosity and K-value in these circumstances might not indicate the actual values for the resin used to produce the composition because of the impure nature of the recovered polymer fraction.

Kunststoffe - Bestimmung der Viskosität von Polymeren in verdünnter Lösung unter Verwendung von Kapillarviskosimetern - Teil 2: Vinylchlorid-Polymere (ISO 1628-2:2020)

1.1 Dieses Dokument legt Bedingungen für die Bestimmung der reduzierten Viskosität (auch bekannt als Viskositätszahl) und des K Wertes von VC Polymeren fest. Es ist anwendbar auf Polymere in pulvriger Form, die aus Homopolymeren des Monomers Vinylchlorid und Co  oder Terpolymeren usw. von Vinylchlorid mit einem oder mehreren anderen Monomeren bestehen, wobei aber Vinylchlorid den Hauptbestandteil darstellt. Die Polymere können kleine Mengen nicht polymerisierter Substanzen (z. B. Emulgatoren oder Suspensionshilfsmittel, Katalysatorreste usw.) sowie anderer Substanzen enthalten, die im Laufe der Polymerisation hinzugegeben werden. Dieses Dokument ist jedoch nicht anwendbar auf Polymere, die einen höheren Anteil als 0,5 % ± 0,1 % an flüchtigen Bestandteilen gemäß der Bestimmung nach ISO 1269 aufweisen. Darüber hinaus ist es nicht anwendbar auf Polymere, die nicht vollständig in Cyclohexanon löslich sind.
1.2 Die reduzierte Viskosität und der K Wert eines bestimmten Polymers sind abhängig von seiner molaren Masse, aber diese Abhängigkeit variiert mit der Konzentration und dem Typ anderer vorhandener Monomere. Deshalb ist es möglich, dass Homo  und Copolymere mit gleicher reduzierter Viskosität oder gleichem K Wert nicht dieselbe molare Masse aufweisen.
1.3 Die für eine bestimmte Probe eines VC Polymers ermittelten Werte für die reduzierte Viskosität und den K Wert werden unterschiedlich von der für die Messung gewählten Konzentration der Lösung beeinflusst. Deshalb ergeben sich durch die Anwendung der in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Verfahren nur dann vergleichbare Werte für die reduzierte Viskosität und den K Wert, wenn die Konzentrationen der verwendeten Lösungen identisch sind.
1.4 Die Grenzviskositätszahl (en: limiting viscosity number) findet für VC Polymere keine Anwendung.
1.5 Die in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Bestimmungsverfahren können auch zur Charakterisierung der im Rahmen einer chemischen Analyse einer PVC Formmasse erhaltenen Polymerfraktion benutzt werden. Die so berechneten Werte für die reduzierte Viskosität und den K Wert könnten in diesem Fall jedoch von dem tatsächlichen Wert für das in der Formmasse enthaltene Polymer abweichen, weil die erhaltene Polymerfraktion im Allgemeinen verunreinigt ist.

Plastiques - Détermination de la viscosité des polymères en solution diluée à l'aide de viscosimètres à capillaires - Partie 2: Résines de poly(chlorure de vinyle) (ISO 1628-2:2020)

1.1    Le présent document spécifie les conditions particulières nécessaires à la détermination de la viscosité réduite (également appelée « indice de viscosité ») et de la valeur K des résines PVC. Il est applicable aux résines sous forme de poudres composées d'homopolymères de chlorure de vinyle monomère et de copolymères, terpolymères, etc., de chlorure de vinyle combiné avec un ou plusieurs autres monomères, le chlorure de vinyle étant cependant le principal constituant. Ces résines peuvent contenir de petites quantités de substances non polymérisées (telles qu'émulsifiants ou agents de suspension, résidus de catalyseurs, etc.) ainsi que d'autres substances ajoutées au cours de la polymérisation. Cependant, le présent document ne s'applique pas aux résines dont la teneur en substances volatiles est supérieure à 0,5 % ± 0,1 %, la détermination ayant été effectuée conformément à l'ISO 1269. Il ne s'applique pas non plus aux résines qui ne sont pas entièrement solubles dans la cyclohexanone.
1.2    La viscosité réduite et la valeur K d'une résine donnée sont liées à la masse moléculaire de cette dernière, mais cette relation varie suivant la concentration et le type de l'autre (des autres) monomère(s) également présent(s). De ce fait, il se peut que des homopolymères et des copolymères ayant la même viscosité réduite ou présentant la même valeur K n'aient pas la même masse moléculaire.
1.3    Les valeurs déterminées de la viscosité réduite et de la valeur K, pour un échantillon particulier de résine PVC, sont influencées différemment par la concentration de la solution choisie pour effectuer les déterminations. Ainsi, l'utilisation de modes opératoires décrits dans le présent document donne des valeurs pour la viscosité réduite et la valeur K qui ne sont comparables que lorsque les concentrations des solutions utilisées sont identiques.
1.4    L'indice limite de viscosité n'est pas utilisé dans le cas des résines PVC.
1.5    Les modes opératoires d'essai décrits dans le présent document peuvent également être utilisés pour caractériser la fraction polymérique obtenue au cours de l'analyse chimique d'une composition PVC. Cependant, il est improbable que les valeurs de la viscosité réduite ou de K obtenues par calcul dans ces conditions indiquent les valeurs réelles qui caractérisent la résine utilisée pour obtenir ladite composition, étant donné le caractère impur de la fraction polymérique récupérée.

Plastics — Determination of the viscosity of polymers in
dilute solution using capillary viscometers —
Part 2:
Poly(vinyl chloride) resins
1 Scope
1.1 This document specifies conditions for the determination of the reduced viscosity (also known
as viscosity number) and K-value of PVC resins. It is applicable to resins in powder form which consist
of homopolymers of the monomer vinyl chloride and copolymers, terpolymers, etc., of vinyl chloride
with one or more other monomers, but where vinyl chloride is the main constituent. The resins may
contain small amounts of unpolymerized substances (e.g. emulsifying or suspending agents, catalyst
residues, etc.) and other substances added during the course of the polymerization. This document
is not applicable, however, to resins having a volatile-matter content in excess of 0,5 % ± 0,1 %, when
determined in accordance with ISO 1269. In addition to this, it is not applicable to resins which are not
entirely soluble in cyclohexanone.
1.2 The reduced viscosity and K-value of a particular resin are related to its molecular mass, but the
relationship varies depending on the concentration and type(s) of other monomer(s) present. Hence,
homopolymers and copolymers having the same reduced viscosity or K-value might not have the same
molecular mass.
