The ASTM D5225-17 test method includes the use of a differential or modified differential viscometer to determine the solution viscosity of polymers. The differential viscometer uses a fluid analog of the Wheatstone Bridge to measure viscosity.

The ASTM D5225-17 test method includes the use of a differential or modified differential viscometer to determine the solution viscosity of polymers. The differential viscometer uses a fluid analog of the Wheatstone Bridge to measure viscosity.
Scope:
The ASTM D5225-17 test method specifies the use of a differential or modified differential viscometer to determine the solution viscosity of polymers. This test is applicable to all polymers that dissolve entirely without chemical reaction or degradation, forming stable solutions over time and temperature. All types of synthetic polymers, biopolymers, proteins, and peptides can be measured using the differential viscometer utilized in the test. The ASTM D5225-17 test method also allows for quick viscosity characterization of polymers.
Procedure:
The ASTM D5225-17 test is carried out with a balanced network of four capillaries organized in a Wheatstone bridge-like pattern. Pure solvent flows via a balanced capillary network at constant inlet pressure Pi, resulting in a zero or baseline pressure on the differential pressure transducer. Sample reservoir A is filled with solution, which is subsequently injected onstream via the switching valve SA. The differential pressure rises until it reaches a steady-state value of ∆P, which is proportional to the solution’s particular viscosity. On a strip chart recorder or computer, the differential pressure is continuously monitored, providing a baseline against which ∆P is recorded.
Specimen size:
For ASTM D5225-17 test procedure, the polymer is used as a test specimen.
Result:
Results of the ASTM D5225-17 test are usually expressed as specific viscosity, intrinsic viscosity, inherent viscosity, or relative viscosity.
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 is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etches solution 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.
