ASTM D792, ISO 1183 Specific Gravity and density
Specific Gravity and density determination for solid plastic products is done by using ASTM D792, ISO 1183 test methods. These values are important where trading of solid plastic material is done as per cost per unit weight of plastics.
Scope:
ASTM D792 test is used for the determination of the specific gravity (relative density) and density of solid plastics in the form of sheets, rods, tubes, or molded items. Specific gravity means a measure of the mass ratio of a given substance volume at 23 °C of the same deionized water volume. Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. Specific gravity and density are particularly important when plastic is sold at a cost per pound and a lower density or specific gravity means more material per pound or varying weight of the component.
Test Procedure:
There are two basic test methods for the ASTM D792 test: method A and method B. Method A can be used for the sheets, rods, tubes, and molded articles. For the test method A, the sample is measured in air and then weighed after immersing in distilled water. The temperature is maintained at 23°C using a sinker and wire, to keep the sample completely submerged. Finally, the density and specific gravity calculations are carried out.
Sample size:
Any suitable size.
Data:
Specific gravity = a/[(a + w)-b]
Where
a = mass of specimen in air. b = mass of specimen and sinker (if used) in water. W = mass of totally immersed sinker if used and partially immersed wire.
Density, kg/m3 = (specific gravity)(997.6)
Conclusion
ASTM D792 test method is important to assess the average density, or specific gravity, of a bigger sample or product by evaluating the physical changes in a plastic sample related to the degree of uniformity relative to other samples.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
