Adhesives - Determination of viscosity

This European Standard specifies six methods which, experience has shown, are suitable for measuring the viscosity of a wide range of adhesives:
- rotational viscometer method;
- cone and plate viscometer method;
- falling ball viscometer method;
- glass capillary viscometer method;
- flow cup method;
- pressurised extrusion method.
This standard does not intend to describe equipment, which is unique to one manufacturer, rather it describes generic types of viscometer. The instruments described operate on very different principles making it inadvisable to compare results from one type of viscometer with those from another. However, results from different instruments of the same type should be comparable.
NOTE 1  Some modern viscometers incorporate integrated electronic measuring devices and have a high degree of automation. The user will not necessarily have access to (or need to know) full details of an instrument's measuring systems. However, all viscometers are capable of being calibrated and, to conform to this standard, the viscometer used should be calibrated in the appropriate viscosity range before a test. Certified calibration fluids should be used for this purpose and evidence of calibration given with the test results.

Klebstoffe - Bestimmung der Viskosität

Diese Europäische Norm legt sechs Verfahren fest, die, wie die Erfahrung gezeigt hat, zur Messung der
Viskosität in einem großen Klebstoffbereich geeignet sind:
- Rotationsviskosimeter-Verfahren,
- Kegel-Platte-Viskosimeter-Verfahren,
- Kugelfallrohrviskosimeter-Verfahren,
- Glaskapillarviskosimeter-Verfahren,
- Auslaufbecher-Verfahren,
- Extrusions-Verfahren.
Diese Norm beabsichtigt nicht, Instrumente einzelner Hersteller zu beschreiben, sie will vielmehr nur den Ein-satz
gebräuchlicher Viskosimetertypen festlegen. Alle aufgeführten Geräte arbeiten nach unterschiedlichen
Prinzipien. Es ist daher nicht zu empfehlen, die mit einem Viskosimetertyp erhaltenen Ergebnisse mit denen
eines anderen Typs zu vergleichen. Ergebnisse von unterschiedlichen Geräten der gleichen Art sollten
hingegen vergleichbar sein.
ANMERKUNG 1 Einige moderne Viskosimeter verfügen über eingebaute elektronische Messvorrichtungen und einen
hohen Automatisierungsgrad. Der Benutzer wird nicht notwendigerweise (oder benötigt keinen) Zugang zu allen Einzelheiten
des Messsystems im Gerät haben. Alle Viskosimeter sind jedoch kalibrierfähig und jedes verwendete Viskosimeter sollte
zur Übereinstimmung mit dieser Norm im festgelegten Bereich vor einer Prüfung kalibriert werden. Zu diesem Zweck soll-ten
nur zertifizierte Kalibrierflüssigkeiten verwendet und Angaben zur Eichung mit den Prüfergebnissen vermerkt werden.
ANMERKUNG 2 Die Eigenschaften vieler Klebstoffe reagieren gegenüber Prüfbedingungen sehr empfindlich. Es ist
daher wichtig, dass der Prüfbericht umfassende Informationen über die Ausführung der Prüfung enthält.

Adhésifs - Détermination de la viscosité

La présente Norme européenne spécifie six méthodes qui, comme l'expérience l'a prouvé, conviennent pour la mesure de la viscosité d'une large gamme d'adhésifs :
3 une méthode a viscosimetre rotatif ;
3 une méthode a viscosimetre cône/plan ;
3 une méthode a viscosimetre a chute de bille ;
3 une méthode a viscosimetre a capillaire en verre ;
3 une méthode a viscosimetre a coupe d'écoulement ;
3 une méthode pour extrusion sous pression.
La présente norme cherche moins a décrire un équipement, qui varie selon les fabricants, que des grands types de viscosimetres. Les instruments décrits fonctionnent selon des principes tres différents, ce qui rend impossible toute comparaison des résultats entre les différents types de viscosimetres. Il convient cependant de comparer les résultats de différents instruments du meme type.
NOTE 1   Certains viscosimetres modernes integrent des appareils de mesure électroniques et sont fortement automatisés. Il se peut donc que l'utilisateur n'ait pas acces a tous les détails concernant le systeme de mesure de l'instrument (ou n'ait pas besoin de les connaître). Tous les viscosimetres peuvent cependant etre étalonnés et, pour etre conformes a la présente norme, il convient que les viscosimetres utilisés soient étalonnés avant essai dans la plage de viscosité appropriée. Pour ce faire, il convient d'utiliser des fluides d'étalonnage certifiés et la preuve de l'étalonnage fournit avec les résultats de l'essai.
NOTE 2   Les propriétés de beaucoup d'adhésifs sont tres sensibles aux conditions d'essai. Il est donc important que le rapport d'essai contienne des informations détaillées sur la conduite de l'essai.

The alternativemethods are given in 6.4 and 6.6.For Newtonian liquids with a viscosity higher than 10 Pa·s, the methods described in 6.2 and 6.7 are preferred.For non-Newtonian liquids the method described in 6.3 is preferred. The method given in 6.2 can also be used.NOTENewtonian liquid or ideal liquid is defined as a liquid characterized by a constant value for the shear stress divided bythe rate of shear in simple shear flow and with zero normal stress differences.Non-Newtonian liquid or non-ideal liquid is defined as a liquid not exhibiting Newtonian behaviour.5 SafetyPersons using this standard shall be familiar with normal laboratory practice.This standard does not purport to address all the safety problems, if any, associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the user to establish health and safety practices and to ensure compliance with anyEuropean and national regulatory conditions.6 Test methods6.1 GeneralAll the procedures described in the following test methods shall be carried out in duplicate. The difference betweenthe values of two consecutive tests shall be less than 5% and less than 3% for the test method described in 6.2, inparticular. If this is not the case, further tests shall be carried out until this requirement is fulfilled.SIST EN 12092:2002



EN 12092:2001 (E)66.2 Rotational viscometer method6.2.1PrincipleA spindle, usually in the shape of a cylinder or disc, rotates at a constant speed in the adhesive. The instrumentmeasures the torsional resistance of rotation. Factors, which depend on the speed of rotation and thecharacteristics of the spindle, are applied to the torsional resistance measurement resulting in an estimate of thecoefficient of viscosity.The method is often applied to non-Newtonian fluids and the viscosity measured depends on the rate of shear.A detailed description of the apparatus to be used and further details of this method are given in EN ISO 2555 andEN ISO 3219.6.2.2 Procedure6.2.2.1 Prepare the adhesive in accordance with the manuacturer’s instructions. Unless otherwise specified, take asample of the adhesive in accordance with EN 1066 and examine and prepare it in accordance with EN 1067.6.2.2.2 Set up, calibrate and operate the viscometer in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Spindlesand speeds shall be chosen such that the instrument reading is in the range of 20% to 95% of the full scale value.6.2.2.3 Ensure that the temperature of the test specimen is within the prescribed limits. Unless otherwise specified,the temperature of the test specimen shall be maintained at (230,5)°C. Heat or cool the container holding the testspecimen by immersion in a thermostatically controlled bath. Special attachments are usually available for testinghot melt adhesives.6.2.2.4 Start the motor and leave the spindle turning in the adhesive until a steady value is recorded. In some fluidsthe reading of the instrument will not settle, but will continue to drift. In such cases, record the reading after aspecific time.6.2.2.5 Stop the motor, wait until the spindle has stopped, then restart the motor and take a second measurement.6.2.2.6 Repeat the process described in 6.2.2.5 until two consecutive readings differ by no more than 3%. Take theaverage of these two values.6.2.2.7 After each determination, remove the spindle from the appliance and wash it carefully in the appropriatesolvent.6.2.3 Expression of resultsCalculate the estimate of viscosity by the method prescribed by the manufacturer of the viscometer.Express the result to three significant figures in units of Pa·s or in mPa·s as appropriate.If required, plot the characteristic viscosity/shear rate curve for the adhesive.6.2.4 Test reportThe test report shall contain, at least, the following information:a) reference to this European Standard;b) identification of the product tested including details of any mixing or other preparations carried out;c) the test temperature;d) details of the viscometer, manufacturer and model, including the spindles and speeds used and the shear rate, ifknown;e) in cases where a measurement was taken after a specific time, the value of this time period;SIST EN 12092:2002
