RPV-1 Polymer Viscometer

Intrinsic Viscosity or IV is an important quality parameter for polymers. Measurement of IV of any polymer involves dissolving the polymer in a solvent and running the solution through a glass capillary viscometer. Exact procedures for all the commonly used polymers are given in International Test methods under ISO, ASTM, DIN, IEC, etc. Product specifications typically require the IV to measured on method compliant equipment.  In this category:  POLYAMIDE RV & VN;  PET Intrinsic Viscosity;  PVC K-Value;  PP/PE VN @ 135 deg.
