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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

1 Scope
1.1 This document specifies conditions for the determination of the reduced viscosity (also known
as viscosity number) and K-value of PVC resins. It is applicable to resins in powder form which consist
of homopolymers of the monomer vinyl chloride and copolymers, terpolymers, etc., of vinyl chloride
with one or more other monomers, but where vinyl chloride is the main constituent. The resins may
contain small amounts of unpolymerized substances (e.g. emulsifying or suspending agents, catalyst
) EW
residues, etc.) and other substances added during the course of the polymerization. This document
1-
is not applicable, however, to resins having a volatile-matter content in excess of 0,5 % ± 0,1 %, when
0 25
.ai VI
02 ae
determined in accordance with ISO 1269. In addition to this, it is not applicable to resins which are not

1.2 The reduced viscosity and K-value of a particular resin are related to its molecular mass, but the

1.5 The experimental procedures described in this document can also be used to characterize the
polymeric fraction obtained during the chemical analysis of a PVC composition. However, the values
calculated for the reduced viscosity and K-value in these circumstances might not indicate the actual
values for the resin used to produce the composition because of the impure nature of the recovered
polymer fraction.

NOTE The use of a flask calibrated at a temperature of 20 °C, as specified in ISO 1042, causes a systematic
error which can, however, be neglected.
6.4 Filter funnel, with fritted-glass filter disc of medium porosity (pore size 40 µm to 50 µm), or glass

6.5 Mechanical agitator, equipped with a heating device to keep the flask (6.3) and its contents at a

As an alternative, a rotary agitator or shaker may be placed in an oven at a temperature between 80 °C

6.7 Temperature-regulated bath, capable of being set at 25,0 °C ± 0,5 °C in steps of 0,1 °C and

Take a sample which is representative of the resin whose properties are to be determined and large
enough for at least two determinations.
8 Number of determinations
Carry out two complete determinations, starting each with a fresh test portion.

If a mass of 0,250 g ± 0,000 25 g is taken and made up to 50 ml of solution as described above, Table 1

can be used to read off the reduced viscosity and K-value from the ratio of the efflux time of the solution
44 ar d
Alternative methods for the preparation of the solution may be used, for example the addition of a
s:/
tp
measured volume of solvent to a measured mass of test portion, provided that the values obtained for
ht
the reduced viscosity and K-value can be shown to be equivalent to those obtained with the method
of solution preparation described above. Such alternative methods of solution preparation requires
the amounts of solvent and test portion taken to be determined by experiment, and can also require
compensation for loss of solvent by evaporation during the dissolution process.
With resins having K-values greater than 85, the ratio of the efflux time of the solution to that of
the solvent will exceed the maximum value of 2,0, which is contrary to the requirement specified in
ISO 1628-1:2009, 6.2. In order to ensure uniformity of testing for PVC, this non-conformity shall be
ignored, and all currently available resins tested using the same test-portion mass.
Particular care shall be taken over viscometer cleaning, which shall be based on the procedure described
in ISO 1628-1:2009, Annex A. Efflux times with the control solvent cyclohexanone shall remain constant
to within 0,2 s for a given viscometer. With the solution, repeat the measurement of the efflux time until
two successive measurements differ by less than 0,25 %. Always discard the first efflux time reading.
NOTE This is a manual procedure. Proprietary equipment is available which will organize the charging of
the viscometer with solution and solvent and measure the respective efflux times automatically. The use of such
equipment is included in the scope of this document provided that all the procedures and verification checks
described above are followed by the automated procedure.
