Scope1
1 This practice covers the determination of the dilutesolution viscosity of polymers
There are several ASTMstandards (Test Methods D 789, D 1243, D 1601, and D 4603,and Practice D 3591) that describe dilute solution viscosityprocedures for specific polymers, such as nylon, poly(vinylchloride), polyethylene, and poly(ethylene t
