Plastics - Determination of the viscosity of polymers in dilute solution using capillary viscometers - Part 3: Polyethylenes and polypropylenes (ISO 1628-3:2010)
ISO 1628-3:2010 defines particular conditions for determining the reduced viscosity (also known as viscosity number) and intrinsic viscosity of polyethylenes and polypropylenes at 135 °C in dilute solution.
The viscosity of polymer solutions may be affected by additives present in the sample. The value of a reduced viscosity determined by this method may therefore be unreliable if the sample contains fillers or other additives.
Kunststoffe - Bestimmung der Viskosität von Polymeren in verdünnter Lösung durch ein Kapillarviskosimeter - Teil 3: Polyethylen und Polypropylen (ISO 1628-3:2010)
Dieser Teil von ISO 1628 legt die speziellen Bedingungen für die Bestimmung der reduzierten Viskosität (auch
bekannt als Viskositätszahl) und der Intrinsic-Viskosität von Polyethylen und Polypropylen in verdünnter Lösung
bei 135 °C fest.
Die Viskosität von Polymerlösungen kann durch in der Probe vorhandene Zusätze beeinflusst werden. Der nach
diesem Verfahren ermittelte Wert einer reduzierten Viskosität kann deshalb unzuverlässig sein, wenn die Probe
Füllstoffe oder andere Zusätze enthält.
ANMERKUNG Die reduzierte Viskosität ist auch als Staudinger-Funktion (Jv) und die Intrinsic-Viskosität als Staudinger-
Index (Jg) bekannt.
Plastiques - Détermination de la viscosité des polymères en solution diluée à l'aide de viscosimètres à capillaires - Partie 3: Polyéthylènes et polypropylènes (ISO 1628-3:2010)
L'ISO 1628-3:2010 définit les conditions spécifiques de détermination de la viscosité réduite (également appelée indice de viscosité) et de la viscosité intrinsèque des polyéthylènes et des polypropylènes en solution diluée à 135 °C.
La viscosité des solutions de polymère peut être affectée par les additifs contenus dans l'échantillon. La valeur d'une viscosité réduite obtenue par cette méthode peut, par conséquent, ne pas être fiable si l'échantillon contient des charges ou d'autres additifs.
Polimerni materiali - Ugotavljanje viskoznosti polimernih materialov v razredčeni raztopini z uporabo kapilarnega viskozimetra - 3. del: Polietileni in polipropileni (ISO 1628-3:201)
Ta del ISO 1628 opredeljuje konkretne pogoje za ugotavljanje reducirane viskoznosti (znane tudi kot viskoznostno število) in intrinzične viskoznosti polietilenov in polipropilenov pri 135 °C v razredčeni raztopini. Velja za polietilene z majhno, srednjo in veliko gostoto in za širok razpon polipropilenov, vključno s čistimi izotaktičnimi polimeri, polimeri v stereobloku in ataktičnimi polimeri. Na viskoznost polimernih raztopin lahko vplivajo aditivi, prisotni v vzorcu. Vrednost reducirane viskoznosti, določene s to metodo, je zato lahko nezanesljiva, če vzorec vsebuje polnila ali druge aditive.

Overview
EN ISO 1628-3:2010 - "Plastics - Determination of the viscosity of polymers in dilute solution using capillary viscometers - Part 3: Polyethylenes and polypropylenes" defines the particular conditions for measuring reduced viscosity (viscosity number/Staudinger function) and intrinsic viscosity (Staudinger index) of polyethylene and polypropylene. Tests are performed in dilute solution at 135 °C using capillary viscometers. The document notes that fillers or additives can affect measured values and may render results unreliable.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Test temperature: Measurements are carried out at 135 °C to ensure dissolution of ethylene polymers and isotactic polypropylene.
- Solvent:Decahydronaphthalene, analytical-reagent grade, redistilled (≤ 65 °C at ~500 Pa) and stabilized with 0.2% antioxidant to prevent oxidation during the test.
- Viscometer type: Preferably an Ubbelohde viscometer (type 0B or 0a) with a nominal viscometer constant 0.005, or equivalent capillary viscometers per ISO 3105. A modified Ubbelohde with an integrated filter is allowed when filtration is needed.
- Apparatus & conditions: Thermostatic bath maintained at 135 °C ±0.2 °C; secondary bath at 20 °C; precise timing (0.1 s resolution); analytical balance (0.1 mg); shaker in a 150 °C ±2 °C bath for dissolving.
- Procedure highlights: Measure efflux times of solvent and polymer solution; choose a solution concentration so that the ratio t_solution / t_solvent lies between 1.2 and 2.0; calculate reduced and intrinsic viscosity from efflux times and known concentration.
- Sample form: Test material must be dry powder or finely ground pieces; manufactured articles should be ground and homogenized to avoid surface/interior differences.
- Limitations: Presence of fillers, pigments or other additives can alter solution viscosity - report reliability caveats when such components are present.
Applications and users
- Quality control and batch verification in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) production.
- R&D and polymer characterization for molecular weight estimation, processing behavior, and comparative material studies.
- Materials laboratories, certification bodies, and suppliers needing standardized intrinsic viscosity or viscosity number data for specifications and compliance.
- Useful for manufacturers of films, fibres, pipes, and molded products where polymer viscosity correlates with performance.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 1628-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 9, Thermoplastic
materials.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1628-3:2001), which has been technically
revised. The main changes relate to the way in which the solution of the polymer under test is prepared and
introduced into the viscometer.

viscosity number) and intrinsic viscosity of polyethylenes and polypropylenes at 135 °C in dilute solution.
The viscosity of polymer solutions may be affected by additives present in the sample. The value of a reduced
viscosity determined by this method may therefore be unreliable if the sample contains fillers or other
