Scope

This part of ISO 1628 defines particular conditions for determining the reduced viscosity (also known as viscosity number) and intrinsic viscosity of polyethylenes and polypropylenes at elevated temperatures (135 °C – 160 °C) in dilute solution.

The viscosity of polymer solutions can be affected by fillers or additives present in the sample. The value of a reduced viscosity determined by this method can therefore be unreliable if the sample contains fillers or other additives.

NOTE Reduced viscosity is also known as the Staudinger function (Jv) and intrinsic viscosity as the Staudinger index (Jg).
