To determine the viscosity of thepolyamide solutions use the appropriate ASTM Ubbelohdeviscometer as defined in Specification D446, Fig. A2.1 for thepolyamide viscosity range.9.2.3.1 Add to the viscometer 10-18 mL of vis

36、cosity oilstandard from a volumetric pipet. Use S-3 for Size 1 viscom-eter and N-100 for Size 3 viscometers. Immerse the viscometerin the constant temperature bath at 25 6 0.02C and allow it toremain at least 20 minutes. Block off the air arm (not thecapillary) and apply air pressure to the large di

37、ameter (filling)tube by means of a rubber bulb so that oil passes into thecapillary until oil is above the upper timing mark. Un-block theair arm and simultaneously allow the oil to flow down. Thisensures that the viscometer is wet. Again, force oil above theupper timing mark, and observe the time (

38、to 0.2 seconds)required for the liquid to fall from the upper timing mark to thelower timing mark. Repeat until three successive values agreewithin 0.5 %, and record the average for the viscosity oilstandard at 25C as t3(S-3) or t100(N-100).

UseOil S-20. Assemble the pipet viscometer so that the lowestmark on the pipet aligns with th

42、e 50-mL mark on the reservoirto the pipet. Place the assembly in the water bath adjusted to atemperature of 25 6 0.1C. After at least 20 min, apply airpressure to the reservoir or vacuum to the capillary, by meansof a rubber bulb, to drive the oil up into the pipet above theupper timing mark. Place

43、a finger over the top of the pipet, andrelease the pressure by opening the system to air. Remove thefinger and allow pipet to drain. Repeat at least three times towet the pipet thoroughly, and then record the time (to 0.2 s) forthe liquid level to fall from the upper timing level to the lower.Determ
