Plastics - Methods for determining the density of non-cellular plastics - Part 1: Immersion method, liquid pycnometer method and titration method (ISO 1183-1:2019, Corrected version 2019-05)

This document specifies three methods for the determination of the density of non-cellular plastics in
the form of void-free moulded or extruded objects, as well as powders, flakes and granules.
— Method A: Immersion method, for solid plastics (except for powders) in void-free form.
— Method B: Liquid pycnometer method, for particles, powders, flakes, granules or small pieces of
finished parts.
— Method C: Titration method, for plastics in any void-free form.
NOTE Density is frequently used to follow variations in physical structure or composition of plastic
materials. Density can also be useful in assessing the uniformity of samples or specimens. Often, the density of
plastic materials depend upon the choice of specimen preparation method. When this is the case, precise details
of the specimen preparation method are intended to be included in the appropriate material specification. This
note is applicable to all three methods.

Kunststoffe - Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Dichte von nicht verschäumten Kunststoffen - Teil 1: Eintauchverfahren, Verfahren mit Flüssigkeitspyknometer und Titrationsverfahren (ISO 1183-1:2019, korrigierte Fassung 2019-05)

Dieses Dokument legt drei Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Dichte von nicht verschäumten Kunststoffen fest, die in Form von blasenfreien geformten oder extrudierten Gegenständen, aber auch als Pulver, Flocken und Granulat vorliegen.
   Verfahren A: Eintauchverfahren, für blasenfreie feste Kunststoffe (ausgenommen Pulver).
   Verfahren B: Verfahren mit Flüssigkeitspyknometer, für Teilchen, Pulver, Flocken, Granulat oder zerkleinerte Fertigteile.
   Verfahren C: Titrationsverfahren, für Kunststoffe in jeder blasenfreien Form.
ANMERKUNG   Die Dichte wird häufig verwendet, um die Veränderungen in der physikalischen Struktur oder Zusammensetzungen von Kunststoffmaterialien zu verfolgen. Die Dichte kann auch bei der Beurteilung der Einheitlichkeit von Proben oder Probekörpern von Nutzen sein. Häufig hängt die Dichte von Kunststoffen von der Wahl des Verfahrens zur Herstellung der Probekörper ab. Ist dies der Fall, sollen genaue Einzelheiten zum Herstellungsverfahren der Probekörper in die entsprechende Werkstoffspezifikation aufgenommen werden. Diese Anmerkung gilt für alle drei Verfahren.

Plastiques - Méthodes de détermination de la masse volumique des plastiques non alvéolaires - Partie 1: Méthode par immersion, méthode du pycnomètre en milieu liquide et méthode par titrage (ISO 1183-1:2019, Version corrigée 2019-05)

Le présent document spécifie trois méthodes de détermination de la masse volumique des plastiques non alvéolaires sous forme d'objets moulés ou extrudés exempts de cavités fermées, ainsi que de poudres, de paillettes ou de grains.
—          Méthode A: méthode par immersion, pour les plastiques solides exempts de cavités fermées (excepté les poudres).
—          Méthode B: méthode du pycnomètre en milieu liquide, pour les particules telles que les poudres, les paillettes, les grains ou les parties finies réduites en petits morceaux.
—          Méthode C: méthode par titrage, pour les plastiques exempts de cavités fermées.
NOTE       La masse volumique est fréquemment utilisée pour suivre les variations de la structure physique ou de la composition des matériaux plastiques. La masse volumique peut également se révéler utile pour évaluer l'uniformité des échantillons ou des éprouvettes. La masse volumique des matériaux plastiques dépend souvent du choix de la méthode de préparation de l'échantillon. Lorsque cela est applicable, des détails précis de la méthode de préparation de l'échantillon doivent être donnés dans les spécifications appropriées relatives à la matière. Cette note s'applique à chacune des trois méthodes.

Polimerni materiali - Metode za določanje gostote nepenjenih polimernih materialov - 1. del: Metoda s potapljanjem, metoda s tekočinskim piknometrom in titracijska metoda (ISO 1183-1:2019, popravljena različica 2019-05)

Ta dokument določa tri metode za določanje gostote nepenjenih polimernih materialov v obliki oblikovanih ali ekstrudiranih predmetov brez praznine, praškov, lusk in granul.
– Metoda A: metoda s potapljanjem za trdne polimerne materiale (razen praškov) brez praznine.
– Metoda B: metoda s tekočinskim piknometrom za delce, praške, luske, granule ali majhne delce
zaključenih delov.
– Metoda C: titracijska metoda za katero koli vrsto polimernih materialov brez praznine.
OPOMBA: Gostota se pogosto uporablja za spremljanje odstopanj v fizični strukturi ali sestavi plastičnih
materialov. Gostota je lahko uporabna tudi pri ocenjevanju enakomernosti vzorcev ali primerkov. Pogosto je gostota plastičnih materialov odvisna od izbire metode priprave primerka. V tem primeru je treba v specifikacijo ustreznega materiala vključiti natančne podrobnosti o metodi priprave primerkov. Ta opomba velja za vse tri metode.

equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish
appropriate health and safety practices.
1 Scope
This document specifies three methods for the determination of the density of non-cellular plastics in
the form of void-free moulded or extruded objects, as well as powders, flakes and granules.
— Method A: Immersion method, for solid plastics (except for powders) in void-free form.
— Method B: Liquid pycnometer method, for particles, powders, flakes, granules or small pieces of
finished parts.
— Method C: Titration method, for plastics in any void-free form.
NOTE Density is frequently used to follow variations in physical structure or composition of plastic
materials. Density can also be useful in assessing the uniformity of samples or specimens. Often, the density of
plastic materials depend upon the choice of specimen preparation method. When this is the case, precise details
of the specimen preparation method are intended to be included in the appropriate material specification. This
note is applicable to all three methods.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

Plastics — Methods for determining the density of non-
cellular plastics —
Part 1:
Immersion method, liquid pycnometer method and
titration method
WARNING — The use of this document might involve hazardous materials, operations or
equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish
appropriate health and safety practices.
1 Scope
This document specifies three methods for the determination of the density of non-cellular plastics in
the form of void-free moulded or extruded objects, as well as powders, flakes and granules.
— Method A: Immersion method, for solid plastics (except for powders) in void-free form.
— Method B: Liquid pycnometer method, for particles, powders, flakes, granules or small pieces of
finished parts.
— Method C: Titration method, for plastics in any void-free form.
NOTE Density is frequently used to follow variations in physical structure or composition of plastic
materials. Density can also be useful in assessing the uniformity of samples or specimens. Often, the density of
plastic materials depend upon the choice of specimen preparation method. When this is the case, precise details
of the specimen preparation method are intended to be included in the appropriate material specification. This
note is applicable to all three methods.
