ISO 8003:1985
Carbonaceous materials used in the production of aluminium — Pitch for electrodes — Measurement of dynamic viscosity
Two methods for the measurement are specified: Method A (Ball displacement method): Determination of the viscosity of a pitch at a given temperature determined using a sample of pitch having similar characteristics by measurement of the time a ball, drawn by a defined force, requires to traverse a fixed distance within a measuring tube filled with the sample of molten pitch. Method B (Rotation of a cylindrical body method): Measurement of the shear stress of a substance at a selected rotational speed at a given temperature by means of a system composed of a cylindrical-conical body revolving in the substance contained in a cylindrical vessel.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
